Pacific Alliance Technologies specializes in developing the ivault web GIS application, integrating geographic information systems with financial and asset management data. GIS enables organizations to enhance risk understanding, improve profitability, and collaborate across departments through spatial data analysis. The case study of Whitehorse demonstrates the successful integration of GIS with financial systems, providing a user-friendly interface for municipal data management.

3. What is G.I.S.?
 GIS = Geographic Information Systems
 a system designed to capture, store,
manipulate, analyze, manage, and
present all types of geographically
referenced data
 merging of cartography, statistical
analysis, and database technology
 Consisting of layers ofinformation, such
Transportatio
as: n
 Fixed Assets  Tourism
 Property Parcels  Terrain
 Planning  Telecom.
 Parks  Utilities

4. Everyday Uses of G.I.S. include:
 DirectionsGPS
 Weather Patterns
 Population
DensityElection
Results
 Emergency
Management
 Epidemics,
Pandemics
 Impact of Recession
 UrbanPlanning
 Social Media
 Municipal Data

5. Benefits of Mapping Finance Data
 GIS allows your organization to
 Enhance your understanding of risk, customer interaction,
and economic conditions using spatial models based on
geography and geodemographics.
 Improve profitability and operational performance by sharing
knowledge-based decision making across departments.
 Grow line-of-business collaboration across departments with
economic forecasts, neighborhood studies, and territory analysis.
 Reduce business complexity through a more accurate analysis
of real-world market conditions.
 Increase your market understanding based on a single,
common view of business performance using geocoded data
within business processes

6. Benefits of Mapping Finance Data
 Let non-Vadim users to view Vadim data and non-GIS users view GIS
data without incurring desktop licensing
 Helps cities mitigate liability by showing change over time
 When bringing together tax rolls (or utilities information) with mapping
data many Cities have found properties that aren't taxed - immediate
ROI

8. Unlock the Location in your Data!
 GeoCoding = The process of assigning a latitude,
longitude, elevation (X,Y,Z) to a non spatial database
record
 Finance systems are full of data which can
be mapped by:
 Address
 Property Parcel
 Postal CodesZip Codes
 Area Codes
 Census Boundaries
 Municipal Boundaries
 An estimated 80% of
all data in many form based applications can be mapped;
 Most finance systems are disconnected from the GIS

23. City of Whitehorse
Case Study
iVAULT helps the City of Whitehorse successfully integrate
GIS with financial and asset data.
Pacific Alliance Technologies delivered a web mapping
solution that integrated ESRI ArcGIS Server 10 with the Financial
and Asset Management systems.
Whitehorse was able to achieve an easy to use, visual portal into
the municipal enterprise data from a spatial perspective.
“A self-service system will free our GIS and other staff from time-consuming
map and data tasks while providing the city with a “value added” innovative
approach using our existing framework and designing a solution to speed up
the implementation process by re-using common components.”
Mike Merrett, GIS/Database Specialist at the City of Whitehorse
