San Mateo County Standardizes on Intergraph's GeoMedia for Countywide GIS Initiatives

Intergraph and Farallon Geographics team to deliver GeoMedia GIS solution

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - February 26, 2001 - Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions, a division of Intergraph Corporation, today announced that San Mateo County, California, has standardized on Intergraph's GeoMedia technology for its countywide GIS initiatives. After completing a comprehensive evaluation of leading vendors' enterprise GIS software, the county selected GeoMedia, GeoMedia Professional, and GeoMedia WebMap to support its GIS requirements. The county also selected Farallon Geographics Inc., a certified Intergraph business partner, for GIS implementation, professional services, and training. This GeoMedia GIS solution will benefit San Mateo County by helping to establish a centralized data management workflow, and with GeoMedia WebMap the county can easily access data and distribute it widely to county personnel while improving data sharing and communication.

The county is integrating the GeoMedia products with Oracle8i and AutoCAD as they develop and manage an enterprisewide database and GIS basemap system. The county's entire cadastral and planimetric landbase, consisting of parcels, right of ways, streets and highways, elevation contours, hydrographic features, and other data, will be housed in an Oracle8i Spatial database. Farallon Geographics is assisting the county with full-scale enterprisewide GIS implementation, ranging from setting enterprise GIS data maintenance and workflow standards and procedures to developing and installing spatial databases. Farallon Geographics is also providing countywide product training and is building Web-based applications that will provide easy access to the county's wealth of GIS data and support a wide range of county department workflows and business operations.

"Based on our evaluation of GIS vendor software, Intergraph's GeoMedia products provided the most open platform and flexible data integration and customization tools for the variety of disciplines required by the county," said Mike Jackson, principal civil engineer with the San Mateo County Public Works Department. "We also selected Farallon Geographics to implement our GIS because of their customer-focused approach and GIS integration expertise."

"Farallon worked closely with Intergraph and San Mateo County during the GIS software benchmark and testing program," said Tim Eckard, president of Farallon Geographics. "We are providing GeoMedia, Oracle Spatial, and WebMap implementation and systems integration expertise for the countywide GIS implementation. San Mateo County's unique inter-departmental cooperation is a key factor in their success so far."
