Put your data to work for you

We have long-standing experience in managing data for utility compa-nies – this has been one of our key activities since 1998. GEOMAGIC is a development partner of GE for the pipeline operation tools for the Small-world GIS, the de facto standard in managing geographic and topological information for the energy sector. Smallworld GIS with its object oriented data bases, its development environment and its integration interfaces is the technological basis for our work. Our products support tasks such as planning network extensions or remodeling, managing and documenting assets, day-to-day network operation, alerts management and strategic analysis.

GEOMAGIC competently integrates specialized data (e. g. data on telecontrol assets or on cathodic corrosion protection).

Other aspects of our products’ technological base are reliable display of background maps or schematic plans and data plausibility checks.

In addition to our products, we offer you competent data handling: pre-paring your data for specifi c requirements, transforming map material or importing in-line inspection and CIS data into your information systems. And of course, our support service is there for you!
