Overview

Autodesk® GIS Design Server combines reliable, secure, and scalable server technology with Autodesk’s popular desktop, web-based, and mobile tools. Create an integrated, end-to-end GIS solution with Autodesk GIS Design Server to answer the needs of your entire workflow including design and planning, data storage and management, reporting and analysis, and web communication.

Autodesk GIS Design Server provides a Microsoft® Windows® XP-compatible solution to integrate map and design data into the IT infrastructure of utilities, communications, local and regional governments, and other organizations. And it stores information in a standard Oracle® format that almost any application can read. Information flows freely from the Oracle data warehouse to the application server (Autodesk GIS Design Server) to your mapping and engineering desktops (AutoCAD® Map 3D), and to the browser on your intranet or over the Internet (Autodesk MapGuide®).

Transform Your GIS into Mainstream Technology

By storing information in a standard format that almost any application can read, you can integrate your geospatial data across the enterprise. More importantly, you’ll reduce business expenses as employees make faster and more-informed decisions with up-to-date design and map information.

Improve Workflow and Customer Service

By cutting your decision and response times, you’ll be better able to address workflow problems and meet customer expectations. By integrating location-based information with your customer relationship management (CRM) applications, Autodesk GIS Design Server delivers the interactive maps and design data you need to make informed decisions and act on them quickly.

Increase Access to Maps and Data

Autodesk GIS Design Server provides thousands of designers, planners, and operational users seamless access to a database of millions of common objects. And because the tools are all integrated, information flows freely from the data warehouse (Autodesk GIS Design Server) to the desktop PC mapping and design engine (Auto CAD® Map 3D), and to the web publishing tool (Autodesk MapGuide).

And, to speed deployment, Autodesk GIS Design Server is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, one of the world’s most commonly used business operating systems.

Raise the Value of Your Data Investment

As users capture more data, the demand to access that data grows. Autodesk GIS Design Server makes data available not just to thousands of concurrent AM/FM/GIS users, but also to sales, marketing, and customer service personnel and even to the public. Autodesk GIS Design Server centralizes location information and offers sophisticated features that

• Provide an effective long-transaction management system for complex data edits and multibranch versioning.
• Leverage your Oracle investment with optional Oracle Spatial features.
• Create a flexible environment through tight integration with AutoCAD Map 3D that changes the dynamics and economics of AM/FM/GIS deployment. The result is faster implementation, easier use and configuration, and less user training. Instead of spending five to eight months on development, companies installing Autodesk GIS Design Server can bring users up to speed in just weeks.
• If your organization already uses AutoCAD Map 3D, you can deploy Autodesk GIS Design Server to store and manage your design and geographic database, and employees can continue to use AutoCAD Map 3D with virtually no additional training.
• Deliver data to the entire organization through browsers (Autodesk MapGuide).
• Scale easily to accommodate multiple networks and a rapidly growing number of users and applications. Access and edit detailed maps almost instantly through a unique display system.
• Process data edits quickly and efficiently in your enterprise database.
• Use standard open protocols that allow applications to communicate regardless of architecture.
• Integrate smoothly with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems that control critical front- and back-office functions, including customer relationship management (CRM) and work management systems.
• Generate object rules to promote integrity and accuracy between database objects and drafting operations.
