Details

J. R. Finnie O.L.S., a company specializing in land surveying and mapping, seeks to enhance its operational efficiency by integrating existing data files with CAD files and mapping information. The current process involves disparate data sources that lead to inefficiencies and potential errors. The goal of this project is to streamline these processes by creating a unified system that consolidates data files, CAD files, and mapping information into a cohesive workflow. This integration will not only improve data accuracy but also reduce the time spent on manual data handling. The project will involve analyzing current data structures, identifying integration points, and developing a prototype system that demonstrates improved efficiency. By applying classroom knowledge of data management and CAD systems, learners will gain practical experience in solving real-world data integration challenges.

Deliverables

The project deliverables will include a comprehensive report detailing the current data integration challenges and proposed solutions. Additionally, a prototype system that demonstrates the integration of data files, CAD files, and mapping information will be developed. The final deliverable will be a presentation showcasing the improved process efficiency and potential benefits to J. R. Finnie O.L.S. The project will also include documentation outlining the integration process and any recommendations for future improvements.
