Moves to Bentley Geospatial Server for Enterprise GIS and Bentley Cadastre for Data Editing
EXTON, Pa. - Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for the infrastructure that sustains our world, today announced that the Emirate of Sharjah, Directorate of Town Planning and Survey (DTPS), United Arab Emirates, has successfully deployed Bentley's fully integrated cadastral solution. The solution incorporates an enterprise geospatial information system (GIS) based on Bentley Geospatial Server and a computer-aided design (CAD) data editing system based on Bentley Cadastre. Called the Integrated Land Management Solution (ILMS), the new system replaces one configured using separate GIS and CAD workflows. Because data from each workflow was stored in independent silos, DTPS often faced data inconsistencies between CAD files and the spatial data store, along with data validation and quality control problems. In addition, the legacy system failed to provide an enterprise workflow with standardized approval processes or audit trails, leading to inefficiencies and further quality issues. The new ILMS overcomes these challenges by integrating DTPS's GIS and CAD workflows and creating a single spatial data store. As a result, all of the departments within DTPS now benefit from standardized workflows and approval processes, high-quality data, and enhanced efficiencies - enabling them to better meet the needs of the citizens and organizations they serve within the emirate.
