Bringing GIS to Your Land System Increases Your Bottom Line
It’s a common scenario. A company is looking at prospects, and the VP of Land needs a report listing leases in a certain area – but he also wants to see them on a map to make a better decision.
Normally, he’d make two requests: a detailed lease expiration report from the lease records supervisor, and he’d request the same information on a map from the draftsman.
A few days later, he’s frustrated: The data doesn’t match up. The lease information on the report is current, but the map is already outdated. He sends out emails, meetings are set up, conference calls are held, and two weeks later, the reports and maps finally match.
The basic problem is that the Land and Mapping departments are using two different sources of information: Land is using the Excalibur database for the report and the draftsman is using the geodatabase for the map. But no one’s sure when the last time those different sources of information were reconciled.
Why can’t there be ONE SOURCE of the truth?
There can be: Excalibur.
By integrating GIS with Excalibur, there is one up-to-date source. Integrating the Excalibur Land Lease Records module with P2 Energy Solutions' own Tobin GIS Studio allows the report and the map to be produced from ONE SOURCE of the truth. The map is made directly from information in Excalibur as the data currently exists.
