Envista 2009 R2 Adds Features for Infrastructure Projects
 BEVERLY,
MA, Sep 15, 2009 - Envista Corporation today introduced Envista 2009 Release
2 of their web-based software for infrastructure project coordination. The
map-based system facilitates the planning process for construction and
maintenance work in and under roadways. This new version unveils
breakthrough features generated from customer feedback, including Permit
View, Event Coordination, Collaboration Ready Maps, Custom Spatial Query,
and Multipoint Map Sketching. The Envista coordination solution optimizes
project timing and detects project conflicts among towns, cities, utilities
and highway agencies. The efficiencies gained through better coordination
result in fewer street cuts in newly paved streets and less disruption for
commuters and neighborhoods during the construction season.
Features Reshaping Project Coordination
Envista 2009 Release 2 introduces more than 50 game-changing features for
managers and stakeholders involved in infrastructure project coordination.
Envista’s new Permit View feature allows users to import and view permits on
a map, and share permit information with all departments and utilities.
Permit information is essential to the work of many city and town
departments and utilities, yet access is often limited. With Envista, users
can track permits by status, applicant, applicant organization, type,
location, date, and other variables. Email notifications and permit reports
with embedded maps can be sent to contacts both inside and outside your
organization.
The innovative Event Coordination feature provides Envista users with a
powerful tool to integrate events with roadway and utility project
schedules. From parades to road races, civic events present challenges for
public works and utilities when it comes to scheduling maintenance and
construction work. Event information can be easily added to Envista and
viewed on a web-based map along with projects. The system automatically
flags any conflicts and affected parties of a scheduled event can be
notified via email with an embedded map of the event location.
Envista also unveiled Collaboration-Ready Maps enabling users to generate
emails and reports with embedded maps. Communications are faster and simpler
using maps, so Envista takes this benefit one step further by allowing users
to embed maps in reports and email notifications to internal and external
email contacts. Action items such as project conflicts can now be shown in
reports with each conflict shown in a separate map, or a map can be printed
showing all conflicts.
Making Complex Projects Easy to View and Manage
The new Custom Spatial Query feature enables users to define a custom
area of interest--such as a political district, zoning area, or highway
district--and then to view the projects only in that area. Users can answer
ad hoc questions about projects, as well as being able to save a special
area of interest for ongoing communication. For example, users can define
and save “Ward 1”, “Ward 2” and so on to display vital project information
to the mayor, city councilors, and others.
Another major enhancement is Envista’s Multipoint Map Sketching. Not all
infrastructure projects can be interpreted as single points on a map, or
street routes, or intersecting streets. Users can now use map sketching
tools to add more complex, multipoint projects to the web-based map. These
projects may look like closed or open polygon shapes, or a collection of
lines such as service extensions from a main pipeline. Once a project is
sketched, Envista automatically geo-locates the project and checks it for
conflicts with other projects.
