Data Management

Transform Data into Knowledge

Not all data management systems are created equal. A typical GIS system simply cannot manage the complex data sets associated with a pipeline integrity management and transform that data into actionable knowledge.

Our Pipeline Informational Control System (PICS) was built from the ground up by following the fundamental design principles of ease of use, scalability and open-architecture with the purpose of transforming data into knowledge. The builders of our system are pipeline industry professionals, not detached programmers. The principal architects have extensive pipeline operating experience and understand the idiosyncrasies of pipeline integrity data, particularly as it relates to the support of in-line inspection and direct assessment.

Specific value adding benefits of PICS include:

• Spatially accurate alignment of all pipeline data sets, identifying gaps in data
• Automated, prioritized dig programs according to OPS regulations
• Precise dig location planning on the desktop, not in the field
• Accurate, easy to navigate records simplify regulatory compliance
• Scalability – buy by the mile, not enterprise wide
• Leverages and strengthens, not replaces, existing GIS systems
• Easily integrates with existing systems and data bases
