The City of Vancouver Water Department faced a challenge. They wanted to track and record field activities to meet regulatory and GASB34 requirements, reduce paper based business processes and data entry backlog and lag in the office, and provide quality up-to-date maps and data for field operations. At the same time, they also needed to keep costs down, use existing infrastructure, and get a return on investment within six months. The City used a paper-based business process that made it difficult to track work performed on their assets in the field. With a growing City and higher demands on staff, it was also difficult to provide field users with up-to-date maps and keep up with the back log of paper forms waiting for entry into the system.
