STAR-APIC has won the tender to renew the Walloon Water Company (Société Wallonne Des Eaux - SWDE) GIS system with a solution based on the Elyx platform. SWDE is the largest producer and distributor of drinking water in the Walloon region of Belgium.
The new GIS will replace the current stand-alone systems with a centralized database, an interface to SAP and connections to Electronic Document Management systems. The GIS is accessible via a web portal and will significantly improve the efficiency of the company in planning network interventions and analyzing field data.
The STAR-APIC GIS will bring benefits to a range of departments within SWDE including:
a mobile solution for field workers; improved data access for department managers and network engineers; improved tools for drawing offices in charge of daily database updates; tools for laboratory staff to map sampling and water quality, and the water production department for the planning and works maintenance, network projects and water zone delimitation.
This new contract strengthens STAR-APIC’s leadership in the provision of GIS solutions for water and sewerage network management.

Adopting Cloud computing can save money, but good governance is essential to manage the risk argues Mike Small
