According to Ellen Taub, HBPW GIS Supervisor, "self-implementing a new software product presents a unique opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of how it works and what it can provide." By the end, the software was fully integrated into the organisation's existing GIS. According to Robert Humphrey, HBPW GIS Specialist, "assessing and converting existing data was the most time consuming part of the implementation." The experience did not come without obstacles. "The most difficult part was training staff to understand and operate Cityworks." Though they did utilise phone support, the organisation did not require on-location assistance from Azteca. Cityworks is used to manage water, wastewater, storm water, streets and traffic, and electric systems. The city is able to access more information about the maintenance of infrastructure through the city, enabling more informed better decision-making. Edmond has been recognized by ESRI, receiving the coveted Special Achievement in GIS award at the 1999 ESRI International User Conference and the Founders Award, presented by the South Central Arc Users Group in 2002. gViz GIS Solutions - Cityworks - a real solution for Local Governments - anywhere. <hr> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.gviz.com.au"><img src="http://www.gviz.com.au/uploads/images/gviz_logo_lores.jpg" border="0" /></a></div> <center> <a href="http://www.gviz.com.au/index.php?page=case-studies">More gViz Case Studies</a> <center>© gViz 2009.
