Develop a GIS-based Electronic Mark Plant Circulation System in a collaborative and end-user computing approach Presented by Spencer Li, Howard Cheng 24 Nov 2010
Electronic Mark Plant Circulation (EMPC) Joint project among 12 participants (CLP, HKE, Towngas, Hutchison, PCCW, HyD, DSD & WSD) Provide an automated case creation, routing and response system to handle the used to be paper based workflow of the mark plant process for road excavation System integration with Email, GIS system, PKI/e cert and Internet

What Problems We face With Complex Site Boundary Data Conversion and Validation Multi department Involvement Lack of Document for EMPC standards Lack of GIS Expert in the beginning
How Collaboration We have Project Management A close project team was formed from MTR and UtilityINFO User input is well recognized and fulfilled A temporary working office was set up in MTR headquarter Bi weekly meeting from Jun to Dec 2009
How Collaboration We have Complex Site Boundary MTR helps to provide record boundary including new project site areas A lot of technical training on MTR standards were received Joint project investigation for site boundary alignment problems Highly involvement from user testing and acceptance
How Collaboration We have Data Conversion and Validation Huge volume of record plans from MTR Data Conversion takes long time to complete MTR IT department fully support on the data conversion MTR Drawing department plays a consultancy and quality assurance roles Due to different formats of record plan and GIS, there is no direct method to validate the converted files
How Collaboration We have Multi Department Involvement Train the trainer approach was taken User training was conducted by MTR ISO and IT audit were well implemented Change Management was adopted Hotline for post implementation A lot of testings with other UUs were carried out
How Collaboration We have Lack of Document for EMPC standards Insufficient document about EMPC only a standard flow diagram, and file layout No document on e Cert details We arranged jointly visit to Highway Department to have EMPC demo A lot of integration testing with other UUs Practical experience sharing with other UUs MTR IT department also participated on preparation of technical standards like Single Sign On, ecert, etc
How Collaboration We have Lack of GIS Expert in the beginning Lack of GIS Expect in the market Lack of EMPC experienced people On the job training was offered by ESRI Attitude is important
