Mobile GIS for Utilities

MUMBAI, INDIA: Rolta, a provider of information technology solutions, today announced the strategic acquisition of OneGIS, Inc. of Atlanta, GA, USA.

OneGIS is a consulting, development and systems integration firm with a track record of implementing geospatial and IT solutions.  As shared in a press release, "Their keen industry insights has enabled OneGIS to successfully deliver sophisticated geospatial consulting to infrastructure management markets including electric, gas and water utilities, telecommunications companies and local and regional governments.  In addition to gaining a consulting track-record, Rolta has acquired the companys intellectual property, including the OneView Mobile solution, to enrich its portfolio of IP.  This work-focused, asset-centric mobile GIS application allows field personnel to apply specific work-related actions to help automate their daily work assignments through its unique, user configurable, Action Framework.  OneView Mobile is already operational in several large Utilities and Telecoms within the North American Market."

OneView Mobile will become an integral part of Roltas GeospatialFusion which provides an enterprise-wide solution for spatial viewing, integration and business intelligence.  For utilities and infrastructure management businesses, one of the biggest challenges is to synchronize information across disparate systems and provide the business intelligence required to enable timely decision making with their field workforce.  This new combination of GeospatialFusion and OneView Mobile will be used to provide powerful productivity solutions that are synchronized between the office and field workforce.

The technical expertise of OneGIS is expected to significantly expand Roltas current Geospatial Fusion service offerings by adding substantial consulting and domain experience in utilities and telecommunications.  K. K. Singh, Chairman and CEO commented, “The strategic acquisition of OneGIS will greatly enhance our ability to provide innovative solutions to the utility, telecommunications and government markets.  The addition of OneView Mobile to our Geospatial Fusion Solution will address a critical area of future growth – mobile field force automation.  We are excited about the possibilities, and welcome OneGIS into the Rolta family.”
