Australia: Mapping software for geographic analysis, GeoSamba system, has been adopted by Oil Search Limited’s (OSL) Community Affairs department in Papua New Guinea. The Australian-built technology from iintegrate Systems, a subsidiary of NGIS Australia, has been added to the company’s Community Affairs Information Management System (CAIMS).
The CAIMS database application, based on SQL Server technology, was developed by Oil Search and provides a repository of 100’s database tables representing many aspects of the local community and corporate facilities throughout Papua New Guinea .
As part of the initial configuration, a Facilities Search System (FSS) was developed in GeoSamba which links spatial data with database tables from CAIMS.
