While Munsys uses Autodesk design products for spatial data creation and editing, Oracle spatial technology has been the backbone of the data management, reporting and integration capabilities. The ability to work on spatial data in AutoCAD while the data is available as first class database tables revolutionises the way utilities and local governments can use and manage their asset information.

Spatial data typically stored in drawings and proprietary formats can now truly become part of the corporate dataset and easily be integrated with other enterprise systems at the database level. A pipe segment for example is a single database record that is available to tabular based applications for reporting and record keeping, such as maintenance history, but that same database record can also be used as a graphic entity in AutoCAD for design, mapping and editing.

"Our focus has always been on building applications and tools that streamline the data editing and maintenance processes rather than technology development. Building applications on Oracle has been extremely rewarding and enabled us to deliver high end functionality to our customers for 10 years now. We are excited by the positive impact the Oracle platform continues to deliver for our customers." said Chris Tolken, Founder of Munsys.

The Munsys family of applications contains pre-defined spatial data models for the management of water, sewer, drainage, parcels, roads and electricity infrastructure. The software is a packaged off-the-shelf solution that is functional from day one and enables typical deployments to be done in 30 to 90 days. For utilities and local governments, who have tight budget restrictions, a cost effective solution such as Munsys that has a short deployment cycle and a high level of functionality is an essential part of good management of infrastructure assets.
