P 74 GIS Execution

P  74

GIS Execution
As explained, our team was about 450 personnel, most capacity drawn from agency manpower. The team responsibility was divided into wings.
One wing responsible for generating maps out of satellite imagery-both Ikonas and ISRO satellite imagery data. Ikonas was opted for the cities/towns identified by Business group and for the rest of India, Indian satellite imagery of 10 M resolution was used.  The same group was also responsible to review and approve the digitization agency output. The Basic digitization was carried out using Bently/Autocad map software.Some vendors opted for MicroStation.We accepted all the three versions. For cartographic data, basic GIS analysis, Edge matching, Geo Referencing, Planimetric Accuracy check etc. the team used Arch GIS and Erdas Imagine  and did wonders! For importing these finished product into GIS server, they utilised Arch GIS software.
Here I have to mention a few Champions name, which I can never forget in life. Rather they lifted the group's image across India  and beyond! They are: M/S Anbumani, Kumaran, Badri and Ms Bharathi.  Out of that Ms Bharathi was super champion & Badri was ready & fit for any challenge.

The other wing was lead by Milind Deshpande, ably assisted by Jaydip Gohel. Since they were all old Reliance hands, taking calls and exhibiting proactive decisions were easy for them. Somehow they felt at home though they were carrying out net work engineering first time. Their next line in hierarchy was Harshad Acharya  Sridhar Krishnan, Dhomkar..... To start with the system administrators were Prashant Kapre and Chetan Vartak. Later Kaustabh Roy and Arunmoy, an Oracle specialist managed the same. For managing the system integrity and validate the field data collection, we have posted  GIS engineers in every state capital where Network operations team were there. To name a few I remember J Dinakar at Hyderabad, Nilay Desai at Ahnedabad, Manoharan at Chennai
who were really taking care of the network development data collection in their respective domain responsibility. Since all of them were basically Instrument engineers by qualification, communication exchange was fluent. Under Don& Michael guidance, that wing used .Net and Jawa  for data base creation  and ensured data porting and integrity checks with Oracle.  Rather in process both Milind and Jaydip became champions in Oracle data base management also. Sridhar Krishnan acted as pivot in data creation and porting.

The end beauty was none in the team did have an iota of any idea about GIS ,its Software or Network engineering in beginning but in the end, they became the real backbone of Network operations. How that magic transformation took place? We shall see in next edition.  Mr Mohit Jain, a post graduate structural engineer acted as my executive assistant for coordination with all departments-both business as well as network planning. Development of Network engineering is a big story by itself &where it led us shall be addressed next.
