Success Story of “NRM Water”
in Holland

WMD sets its sights on the new international Smallworld 4 GIS Software Standard

Assen, October 2005

Working together, GIS specialists GE Energy and Mettenmeier have helped satisfy another customer with a Water Network Resource Manager (NRM Water) solution: WMD (Waterleidingmaatschappij Drenthe), Assen in the Netherlands.

Following the "NRM Water" operations set up under GE Energy’s Smallworld 4application in conjunction with PWN (Provinciale Waterleidingbedrijf Noord-Holland) in 2004, WMD is now also profiting from the new international GE Energy standard model. "After taking a close look at the productive solution achieved by PWN, we were immediately convinced that we should change over to the standard data and process model on upgrading from version 3.1 to 4", explained Sören Dijkema, GIS project manager associated with WMD.

The new solution was convincing both in its functions and its technical applications. The intuitive user interface of the Smallworld 4 application also facilitated the training of staff. Altogether 180,000 private household and business connections with an overall length of 6,800 km of supply network are depicted in NRM Water. A special Dutch dimensioning plays its part in this process.
