With the internet of things growing expeditiously and many of the City of Memphis Departments purchasing software to meet their operational needs, the opportunity for integration is very abundant. The City of Memphis EGIS team has stepped to this challenge by leveraging our development abilities to bring the numerous systems into the centralized and intuitive ArcGIS environment. Collecting this data in a centralized database allows EGIS to analyze the data with the work order management systems to ask cross-departmental questions that provide our administration and decision-makers valuable insight that may have been overlooked from siloed perspective.
We have integrated with some of the city’s most prominent systems, including EdgeFrontier (911), Samsara, Waze, and Oracle’s parent database. While the methods of integration differ, the mission is always the same. “Present our data in a quick, intuitive format that allows our department to make data-driven decisions.” In this webinar, we will discuss some of our integration methods and the possibilities when departments eliminate data silos to guide the City of Memphis in the direction of a smart city.
