   GeoviewerIMS Online GIS Service from Nobel Systems begins with the GeoViewerIMS application. This application has been developed by Nobel Systems based on over a decade of experience in the water and wastewater GIS markets.

   Access to the GeoViewerIMS application is provided using Terminal Server. Hosting GeoViewerIMS application from a central location with Terminal Server enables centralized management of the application. You also gain added security because data is stored on the server, rather than on local computers.

   You can simplify administration of crucial line-of-business applications that are in development or require frequent updating by deploying these applications on a terminal server. You can ensure that all users have access to the latest version by updating the application on the server rather than on individual client computers, reducing the total number of updates required.

   The first time you connect to GeoViewerIMS the system installs a component on your computer that is required for the software to function properly. If your browser displays a security warning, click 'yes' to allow component to install.


GeoViewerIMS Online requires Internet connection with a speed of T1 or more. The recommended Operating System at the Client machine is Windows 2000 or higher version.

Info about .Net

GeoViewerIMS is built on Microsoft's .NET technology, using Microsoft Visual C#.NET with ArcIMS as the backend which is configured to read the ArcSDE/SQL database. GeoviewerIMS will ultimately allow you to access data for other
aspects of your utility systems, such as Customer Service, Field Operations, Engineering, Finance, and any other enterprise data in which you wish to connect.

Deployment of the data uses Microsoft Terminal Services. Terminal Server delivers the application to virtually any computing device. Terminal Server enhances the software deployment capabilities that remain difficult to solve using traditional application distribution technologies. When
users run an application on Terminal Server, the application execution takes place on the server, and only keyboard, mouse and display information is transmitted over the network. Users see only their own individual sessions, which are managed transparently by the server operating system, and remain independent of any other client session.

The Main Objectives of the System were built on

Ability for non-GIS trained staff to use the system effectively with less than four hours of training.

Provide access to interactive water atlas maps directly from staff desktops through the Internet Explorer web browser

Locate and view an area of interest anywhere within the water system service area within 10 seconds.

Distribute map updates to every system user instantaneously upon posting the update to the data repository.

Provide a foundational system that can be enhanced to provide broader functionality and adapt to underlying software enhancements.

Enable direct integration with geographic data repositories, asset management information, linked image libraries, and other information associated with water system infrastructures.
