Engineering Integrated Document Management
Software developer SpatiaX Infosystems wins utility and government customers by providing
universal access to documents through integration with CAD (computer-aided design) and GIS
(geographic information system) applications.
By Jackie Mauriello. Excerpts from Business Solutions Magazine, August 2003
These days imaging VARs often find that it
isn’t a question of whether a customer has a
content management system, but how many
disparate content solutions are spread across
the enterprise. Software developer SpatiaX
Infosystems [A Spicer and FileNet VAR based
out of Lafayette, LA] has a utility customer
with operations in three states that has
experienced multiple levels of consolidation.
Some of the acquired companies had
document management; others didn’t. Of
those that did, there were a number of
departmental and enterprise solutions.
What set SpatiaX apart was its out-of-the-box
ability to integrate engineering drawings,
such as those generated through AutoCAD
and MicroStation, in the [FileNet Panagon]
document management system. Using
SpatiaX’ sxCAD for AutoCAD and sxCAD for
MicroStation software packages, engineers
can store and retrieve their CAD documents
directly to or from the Panagon desktop. In
addition to insuring universal access,
it also extends document
management functions such
as versioning, archival, and ViewCaf

viewing and
ViewCafé, which supports markup and print
capabilities. Automated workflows can be
triggered based on the annotations and
markups. SxMARKUPWeb is integrated into
a FileNet Panagon IDM Web Services
interface. When a document is opened,
ViewCafé is launched automatically, making
it irrelevant to the user which application
was used to generate the file in question.
The utility company’s initial purchases
included 75 user licenses for the CAD
integration products and 100 concurrent
user licenses for the Web-based markup
solution. Additional purchases are expected
during the summer of 2003. The products
were integrated over a three-week period to
avoid disruption and currently provide access
to about 1.5 million documents.
