The company spatially enabled the Pipeline Open Data Standard (PODS) to store the huge amounts of information and data being generated during the lifecycle of a pipeline. To make the most of the spatially enabled PODS data model, ONG-IT has registered all feature classes within an Esri environment. “We use geographic information systems in order to meet the requirements of our customers and assure advanced data and information management of assets. The geo-database represents a digital copy of the real assets out there,” says Elhanafi.
The company offers a customized WEB GIS front-end for accessing pipeline information and supporting daily workflows in an effective way, facilitating sharing with customers and partners. It is imperative to have users and their roles defined to grant read-write or read-only access to the stored information and data. The company’s PIMS, based on WebOffice, offering assures sharing of updated information among the project stakeholders—irrespective of their geographic location and without any data redundancies. “Modules are distributed via ONG-IT’s WEB GIS platform and is secured through data encryption,” he adds.

The centralized data storage based on Oracle or other RDBMS as well as data distribution approach by utilizing web technologies avoids typical problems and challenges like redundant data storage, poor quality of data, and inefficient data exchange.
CartoPac® Mobile Field Data Collection is also a part of ONG-IT’s portfolio, giving field users the capability to interact with data from spatial and non-spatial data tables, and share the same data model as the main office. Field users are empowered with the tools to collect data easier, more efficiently, and of higher integrity than ever before. Data managers also benefit from cleaner and more complete data coming in from the field.
However, before implementing geo-spatial solutions, ONG-IT assists customers through its consultancy services to identify available data, software, and workflows. They recently assisted a client in UAE to design their GIS implementation roadmap. ONG-IT analyzed the client’s existing data and engaged with their relevant departments and stakeholders to identify how geospatial data can help them improve their daily processes.
The company has also introduced automated video analytics solutions that combine with GIS by using the information from CCTV cameras. By integrating security related information, geospatial data, and asset related data in the geo-database, businesses are able to rely on content-rich data to optimize their security posture. Over the last few years, ONG-IT has expanded the reach of its solutions worldwide and aims to be the trusted business partner to offer innovative solutions. “We are looking forward to enhancing our solutions to better assist customers and drive productivity,” concludes Elhanafi.
