San Mateo County Standardizes on Intergraph's GeoMedia for Countywide GIS
Initiatives
Intergraph and Farallon Geographics team to deliver GeoMedia GIS solution
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Feb. 26, 2001 - Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions, a
division of Intergraph Corporation, today announced that San Mateo County,
California, has standardized on Intergraph's GeoMedia(r) technology for its
countywide GIS initiatives. After completing a comprehensive evaluation of
leading vendors' enterprise GIS software, the county selected GeoMedia,
GeoMedia Professional, and GeoMedia WebMap to support its GIS requirements.
The county also selected Farallon Geographics Inc., a certified Intergraph
business partner, for GIS implementation, professional services, and
training. This GeoMedia GIS solution will benefit San Mateo County by
helping to establish a centralized data management workflow, and with
GeoMedia WebMap the county can easily access data and distribute it widely
to county personnel while improving data sharing and communication.
The county is integrating the GeoMedia products with Oracle8i and AutoCAD as
they develop and manage an enterprisewide database and GIS basemap system.
The county's entire cadastral and planimetric landbase, consisting of
parcels, right of ways, streets and highways, elevation contours,
hydrographic features, and other data, will be housed in an Oracle8i Spatial
database. Farallon Geographics is assisting the county with full-scale
enterprisewide GIS implementation, ranging from setting enterprise GIS data
maintenance and workflow standards and procedures to developing and
installing spatial databases. Farallon Geographics is also providing
countywide product training and is building Web-based applications that will
provide easy access to the county's wealth of GIS data and support a wide
range of county department workflows and business operations.
"Based on our evaluation of GIS vendor software, Intergraph's GeoMedia
products provided the most open platform and flexible data integration and
customization tools for the variety of disciplines required by the county,"
said Mike Jackson, principal civil engineer with the San Mateo County Public
Works Department. "We also selected Farallon Geographics to implement our
GIS because of their customer-focused approach and GIS integration
expertise."
"Farallon worked closely with Intergraph and San Mateo County during the GIS
software benchmark and testing program," said Tim Eckard, president of
Farallon Geographics. "We are providing GeoMedia, Oracle Spatial, and WebMap
implementation and systems integration expertise for the countywide GIS
implementation. San Mateo County's unique inter-departmental cooperation is
a key factor in their success so far."
