Queensland Department of Emergency Services
Challenge
Increasing the accuracy of its location data is essential to improving response time for emergencies. Like many other organisations, DES was facing difficulties in storing, maintaining and managing their data as well as dispatching information that was timely and accurate. The department required a corporate wide spatial information management infrastructure that was precise, user-friendly and could be easily integrated into the already existing spatial resources.
Solution
DES decided to integrate two separate technologies, MapInfo and Oracle 9i, to create an enterprise wide architecture that was innovative in disseminating quality and appropriate spatial information solutions to emergency departments throughout Queensland.
