Envista Corporation Relies on Oracle(R) Database 11g with Oracle Spatial to Power Web-based Infrastructure Project Coordination Solution

Envista Enables Municipalities, Utilities and Highway Agencies to Exchange and Synchronize Construction, Maintenance, and Shovel-ready Projects

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

News Facts

    --  Envista Corporation, the provider of web-based software for
        infrastructure project coordination, has deployed Oracle Database 11g
        with Oracle Spatial as the foundation for its Software-as-a-Service
        (SaaS) citing Oracle software's geospatial, high performance,
        scalability, and security capabilities, Oracle announced today.

SaaS Platform for Infrastructure Project Coordination

    --  Envista's map-driven solution enables municipalities, counties, highway
        agencies and utilities to manage construction, maintenance, and
        Shovel-ready project schedules using the web-based technology.
    --  With Oracle Database 11g and Oracle Spatial, Envista's software can
        support multiple forms of customer data, such as text and geographic
        information systems (GIS) formats. This data is converted into geo-coded
        project information to provide a common user platform for all
        stakeholders in a local area.
    --  Envista provides a centralized place for towns, cities, DOTs, water,
        electric, and gas utilities to:

        --  Exchange and synchronize project schedules real time;
        --  Discover Shovel-ready projects, project conflicts, street
            moratoriums, and opportunities; and,
        --  Resolve conflicts and effectively plan for future infrastructure
            projects.
    --  Envista technology helps these entities to schedule projects more
        effectively, helping to reduce traffic congestion and eliminate costly,
        redundant street cuts.
    --  Launched in April 2008, Envista now hosts over 100,000 built
        infrastructure projects.

-- Key to Envista are Oracle Database 11g and Oracle Spatial's location features. Oracle supports a wide range of applications including automated mapping/facilities management and GIS, wireless location services, and location-enabled business intelligence.
