Geographic Information Systems:
Anson County, North Carolina Tax Department - Productivity Links created a custom GIS for the Anson County Tax Department and maintained land records for Anson County. New deeds were processed and loaded into the GIS server as they were delivered from the Registrar of Deeds. Deeds were then delivered to the Tax Assessor for entry into the county's AS400 database.  ProLinks updated other Tax Department computers once a week with the new GIS information from the server.  In addition, ProLinks performed many special projects requested by the Tax Assessor, such as creation of specific project maps and GIS edits outside the realm of normal deed processing.

Anson County, North Carolina Water Department - Productivity Links has maintained the GIS at the Anson County Water Department through quarterly updates and on-call technical support.  Data for quarterly updates was gathered by handheld GPS equipment and then processed.  On-call technical support ranged from ArcView help and data manipulation to general hardware and software support.

Project Management:
Chevron Pipe Line Co. - Productivity Links was the project manager for Chevron's alignment sheet generation project. Productivity Links tested the software and performed QA/QC on the converted drawings.

Port of Houston Authority/Channel Development Department - Productivity Links conducted a needs assessment and provided recommendations for the creation of a geographic information based pipeline identification system.

GPS Data Collection:
Anson County, North Carolina Water Department GPS Data Collection - Productivity Links has performed GPS locating services for the Anson County, NC Water Department on a quarterly basis. The data collection updates the GIS developed by ProLinks for the Water Department, and includes all new facilities that have been constructed or removed in the past quarter.  Once obtained, the data is processed to merge seamlessly with the existing GIS.

The Anson County Water Department uses the database and ArcView map to monitor maintenance requirements, determine future inventory needs and to locate valves, hydrants and meters. County workers are also able to print sections of the map for use in the field, rather than taking the entire map of the county with them.

Software Testing:
Productivity Links completed the coordination of software/system testing on Duke Energy's geographic information system. In place of module and on-site testing by the software developer, Productivity Links managed a team of personnel consisting of both Duke employees and contract staff. Requirements capture, test plan development, testing standards, and system testing tracking were developed and implemented by Productivity Links on behalf of Duke Energy and Intergraph Corp.
