Pipeline Analytics Achieves Silver Partner Status with ESRI

http://

Pipeline Analytics, the company delivering WinCan pipe inspection and asset
management software to North and South America markets, has achieved Silver
Status in the Esri Partner Network. This accreditation recognizes WinCan
software for having robustly integrated Esri's ArcGIS geospatial technology
platform, and the Pipeline Analytics team for having become fully conversant in
this platform. It also ensures Pipeline Analytics ongoing access to the latest Esri
resources, tools and technologies, which are essential to maintaining WinCan's
technical leadership in GIS mapping and integration.

"Coming from the developer of the industry’s leading GIS platform, this is a very
significant designation," said George Brown, GIS Specialist at Pipeline Analytics.
"It recognizes all that we’ve accomplished in our software, and gives us the
tools to do even more. Best of all is what it means for our customers: assurance
that WinCan will remain at the forefront of GIS technology within the pipe
inspection and asset management market."

ArcGIS is the platform underpinning WinCan v8’s GIS module, which allows
management of water, stormwater and sewer infrastructure using GIS data. With
this module, a user can simply click and drag on a map to create entire WinCan
projects with prepopulated section data; automatically create linked map
elements from observations; dispatch inspection and rehab crews with
unprecedented ease; and augment GIS data with more infrastructure detail.
Among other functionality, WinCan GIS supports:

Feature Extraction: Plot observations into GIS as point features with links to
videos and photos.
Revision Detection: Highlight differences between GIS and your WinCan data.
Reporting/Exporting: Create reports and export data into Excel.
Repair Strategies: Utilize observation data to create pipe-specific repair
strategies.
Data Review: Review WinCan data outside of WinCan.
Mission Planning: Use GIS to create subsets of data for pipes to be inspected.

In addition to Esri Silver Partner status, Pipeline Analytics is designated a
Cityworks Partner and an IBM Business Partner.
