The City moved from an Intergraph MGE system to ESRI’s ArcGIS and Miner & Miner’s ArcFM Solution to provide their utility and planning divisions with a streamlined, modern GIS system.

Miner & Miner provided implementation services and overall program management on the project, which also involved Mesa Solutions, and Varion Systems, a division of Geoanalytics Inc.

Utilizing the Design, Develop, and Deploy project implementation methodology promoted by Miner & Miner, the ArcFM project began in November of 2003 and went live less than a year later. Designer, Miner & Miner’s graphic design solution, will be implemented in the next year with integration to Azteca’s Cityworks.

“Miner & Miner has brought together a team of qualified people with specialized expertise for meeting our needs. This GIS project will ultimately benefit our city by providing standardization, accountability, and a user-friendly environment.” said Rob McLelland, Senior GIS Specialist at the City of Hamilton.
