David Turner of M-Files will present this session “Sink or Swim: Managing the Growing Flood of Dark Data with Intelligent Information Management“. One of the challenges for many enterprise information management (EIM) initiatives is the volume, variety and velocity of data that organizations manage continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. And while that information holds massive potential for businesses that harness it successfully, it also presents incredible difficulties, such as the increasing emergence of dark data. Learn how forward-looking organizations are turning to meta-driven EIM platforms to help illuminate their dark data.  David presented at last year’s join Maryland-Virginia Chapter meeting

Loudoun Water Mobilizes SAP’s Geo.e for Improved Field Operations: Since implementing SAP’s mapping technology, Geo.e, Loudoun Water has worked to deliver the benefits of an integrated geospatial solution to its 150+ operations staff when they are working in the field. The challenge was to find an easy way for these workers to manage their daily workload while eliminating an inefficient and labor-intensive paper-based process. To address this challenge, Loudoun Water selected, configured and deployed a water-industry focused GIS-enabled mobile solution and suite of apps to automate specific business functions including hydrant flushing, meter management, construction inspection and notification creation. By combining the power of GIS and GPS, coupled with integration to the SAP core system and delivered to a mobile device, we have empowered field users to manage their assigned work on a map and made it simple to create orders and notifications by interacting with a mobile GIS map. This presentation will provide an overview of the project drivers, mobile solution implementation, SAP integration, benefits and future plans.    Key Business Benefits:  – It’s quick and easy to raise a notification in SAP from the field by tapping on a GPS-enabled map  – Field staff can manage daily workload from an iPad, with or without internet  – Makes good business sense: leverages our investment in SAP and GIS using a cloud-hosted solution that doesn’t require more internal IT infrastructure to run.  Presented by Craig Lees of Loudoun Water
