German Municipality of Bissendorf integrates GIS data with Cadcorp SIS

The Municipality of Bissendorf, (set in the district of Osnabruck, Germany), now uses Cadcorp SIS – Spatial Information System to administer it’s cadastral information and to integrate that data with water supply and drainage for the whole area.

This process has been made simple using Cadcorp SIS software by using a topologically structured approach to data analysis and capture of network information. By taking information from existing GIS software, the municipality is able to integrate and build complete areas of the city to include zone planning for new and existing developments, green park areas, and traffic planning. This has been accomplished by loading over 30 different formats held by the Municipality to build the data model for the city - a simple task for Cadcorp SIS with it’s on-the-fly data reading capability that allows users to look at the data before importing it into the system. For example, imported data from the various engineer's offices can be easily merged and integrated from the DXF and DWG format without difficulty. Cadcorp SIS also allows the easy integration of raster cards (DGK5) and aerial photographs.

“The Municipality of Bissendorf is an example of how even smaller German municipalities can become extremely successful in the implementation of modern technologies using an innovative GIS application”. Stated Klaus Scholle from local supplier and Cadcorp business partner Promegis.
