Develop a GIS-based Electronic Mark Plant Circulation System in a collaborative and end-user computing approach Presented by Spencer Li, Howard Cheng 24 Nov 2010
Electronic Mark Plant Circulation (EMPC) � Joint project among 12 participants (CLP, HKE, Towngas, Hutchison, PCCW, HyD, DSD & WSD) � Provide an automated case creation, routing and response system to handle the used ‐ to ‐ be paper ‐ based workflow of the mark plant process for road excavation � System integration with Email, GIS system, PKI/e ‐ cert and Internet
Automated Work Flow
Hardware and Network Structure
How It Works …. Handling of Incoming Request
How It Works …. Handling of Outgoing Request
Incoming & Outgoing Request
Benefits of EMPC • Use Single Sign ‐ On (SSO) for all users • Automated workflow for operations • Menu ‐ driven • Ease of Use • Automatically checking with MTR maps according to other UU’s request • Significant manpower saving • Implementation of HK Post e ‐ Cert
Incoming Request Simple to use

What Problems We face With • Complex Site Boundary • Data Conversion and Validation • Multi ‐ department Involvement • Lack of Document for EMPC standards • Lack of GIS Expert in the beginning
How Collaboration We have ‐ Project Management • A close project team was formed from MTR and UtilityINFO • User input is well recognized and fulfilled • A temporary working office was set up in MTR headquarter • Bi ‐ weekly meeting from Jun to Dec 2009
How Collaboration We have ‐ Complex Site Boundary • MTR helps to provide record boundary including new project site areas • A lot of technical training on MTR standards were received • Joint project investigation for site boundary alignment problems • Highly involvement from user testing and acceptance
How Collaboration We have ‐ Data Conversion and Validation • Huge volume of record plans from MTR • Data Conversion takes long time to complete • MTR IT department fully support on the data conversion • MTR Drawing department plays a consultancy and quality assurance roles • Due to different formats of record plan and GIS, there is no direct method to validate the converted files
How Collaboration We have ‐ Multi ‐ Department Involvement • Train ‐ the ‐ trainer approach was taken • User training was conducted by MTR • ISO and IT audit were well implemented • Change Management was adopted • Hotline for post ‐ implementation • A lot of testings with other UUs were carried out
How Collaboration We have ‐ Lack of Document for EMPC standards • Insufficient document about EMPC only a standard flow diagram, and file layout • No document on e ‐ Cert details • We arranged jointly visit to Highway Department to have EMPC demo • A lot of integration testing with other UUs • Practical experience sharing with other UUs • MTR IT department also participated on preparation of technical standards like Single Sign ‐ On, eCert, etc
How Collaboration We have ‐ Lack of GIS Expert in the beginning • Lack of GIS Expect in the market • Lack of EMPC experienced people • On ‐ the ‐ job training was offered by ESRI • Attitude is important
