Medford Online GIS Asset Management Implementation

GRAEF has been the GIS consultant for the City of Medford for seven years. We have assisted the Village with all GIS related activities, including inventories, mapping, map production, data management and more. GRAEF migrated all of the City’s GIS data to an Enterprise Geodatabase for hosting InfiniteGIS, an interactive, web-based GIS application built on industry standard technology. InfiniteGIS provides secure access to GIS data for all staff from anywhere, on any device, at any time without additional software licensing. Medford uses InfiniteGIS to manage sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water distribution, electrical system, streetlights, street trees, street signage, inventory, maintenance needs and visualize all of it in an interactive map with one easy-to-use system.

Public works staff now uses InfiniteGIS to find detailed information about infrastructure in the field and record inspections without going into the office to access paper records or GIS on a desktop computer. Office staff has access to the City’s GIS data as needed for their day-to-day operations as they are performing tasks anywhere in the City.

Within InfiniteGIS, city staff with appropriate access rights can edit the GIS layers to keep them updated. Furthermore, if needed, the GIS data can be accessed with desktop GIS software for advanced analysis and editing functions. Base map layers are automatically updated by their authoritative agencies reducing data maintenance costs to the city and providing the latest information available to users of InfiniteGIS.
