GIS Overview



4

What is GIS? A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.

GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. GIS technology can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework.

Top 5 benefits of GIS GIS benefits organizations of all sizes and in almost every industry. There is a growing awareness of the economic and strategic value of GIS. The benefits of GIS generally fall into five basic categories:  Cost Savings and Increased Efficiency  Better Decision Making  Improved Communication

 Better Record Keeping  Managing Geographically

Cost Savings and Increased Efficiency GIS is widely used to optimize maintenance schedules and daily fleet movements. Typical implementations can result in a savings of 10 to 30 percent in operational expenses through reduction in fuel use and staff time, improved customer service, and more efficient scheduling.

Better Decision Making GIS is the go-to technology for making better decisions about location. Common examples include real estate site selection, route/corridor selection, evacuation planning, conservation, natural resource extraction, etc. Making correct decisions about location is critical to the success of an organization.

Improved Communications GIS-based maps and visualizations greatly assist in understanding situations and in storytelling. They are a type of language that improves communication between different teams, departments, disciplines, professional fields, organizations, and the public.

Better Record Keeping Many organizations have a primary responsibility of maintaining authoritative records about the status and change of geography and/or assets within geographic bounds. GIS provides a strong framework for managing these types of records with full transaction support and reporting tools.

Managed Geographically GIS is becoming essential to understanding what is happening—and what will happen—in geographic space. Once we understand, we can prescribe action. This new approach to management—managing geographically—is transforming the way that organizations operate.

Desktop GIS user types



12

Types of Geo Enablement users SAP user with GIS updates  Primarily want access to GIS data from inside SAP  Need to be able to update certain GIS data from inside SAP  Require access within ERP (SAPgui) and/or portal

SAP user with GIS read only •End

user maintenance workers who need to visually navigate EAM business processes

 Purely a consumer of GIS information  Portal-only access

True “Power GIS” users  Predominantly work inside GIS tools such as ArcGIS Desktop and 3rd party add-ons such as Miner & Miner designer  Require access to SAP content from inside GIS tools  Require synchronization of complex information between GIS and ERP




Solution Recommendations Based on User Type User Type

Description

Recommended Option*

SAP user with GIS updates

SAP user with limited GIS data updates

GEO.e Asset Management

Complementary solutions



43

Options (1) Partner Products Non-SAP applications requiring access to SAP content and complex integration For: “True Power GIS users” GISConneX  Data synchronization that leverages PI  Most use cases based on a power GIS user’s needs to update information in ERP from GIS

 Basic mobile apps for work management – leverages Syclo Agentry and ESRI ArcGIS (requires high level of customization)  Work with vendors of ArcGIS applications for SAP integration

Non-SAP users that need GIS/ERP functionality but are not power users of either GIS or ERP (ex. Call center employee)

Smartsoft GeoSAP  Data synchronization and composite applications for specific use cases  User functionality resides primarily in composite apps that live outside of both the GIS and SAP systems




Options (2) Custom Development The framework for the maintenance worker role has been designed with extensibility in mind. This would facilitate:

Development of data synchronization functions  Customer specific synchronization logic can be programmed in BAdI’s  Customer specific use cases may be developed

Notes:  Cannot be started before EhP6 release or as customer project to downgrade to EhP5.  Will still require implementation of GIS version management solution and middleware layer (partner or SAP)




Conclusion



46

Key points to take home SAP does understand the business of Geospatial data We recognize the different needs of our customers from the numerous industries we serve SAP has a GIS integration strategy that will continue to evolve

This is not the end of things 
