 The requirements on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have
originally been focused on data capturing and mapping functionalities.
Current analyses state very clearly, that 80% of all technical business
processes are related with geospatial questions. That’s why an
intelligent Pipeline Integrity Management System (PIMS) is more than
reasonable for pipeline operators, and we introduce a GIS
and geodata-based PIMS which makes it possible to establish a pipeline
integrity management system.

 Elevation is a critical component of any earth observation, and elevation data is frequently used for a wide variety of applications. Until recently, however, the available large-scale elevation datasets lacked precision and were outdated – some of the most-used data was more than 50 years old. Intermap Technologies, one of the companies most actively exploring and taking advantage of new opportunities in the elevation data space, has developed a highly accurate statewide elevation dataset for California leading to innovative developments in land use planning and floodplain mapping.
