Enterprise Addressing/Master Address Database Case Studies
Enterprise Address Repository and Maintenance Solution for Walnut Creek Citywide Building Address Database
Challenge
The City of Walnut Creek maintained critical address data on a departmental basis in a variety of incompatible formats. They wanted to reduce errors and inconsistencies by deploying a single, authoritative, centralized database of building addresses.
Solution
The City engaged Farallon to design and deploy an integrated Enterprise Master Address Database /Repository, Address Management System and Address Maintenance System that would link every building address within the City to assessor parcels, street centerlines, and potentially to individual buildings.
Enterprise Addressing System for the City of San Francisco
Challenge
The City of San Francisco and its numerous departments managed hundreds of independent address databases with no common linkage. Most of these databases were not georeferenced.
Solution
Farallon and City IT staff developed and deployed an authoritative, centralized database of building addresses for use throughout City government. This Enterprise Addressing System was developed with Farallon's flexible, extensible and cost-effective framework and uses Open Source technologies.
Kern County Master Address Database Needs Assessment
Challenge
Kern County had no single complete, accurate, and current address list that could be used as the authoritative list of business and residential locations for providing essential services. This limited the ability for Count departments to coordinate efforts and integrate information across business systems.
Solution
Farallon Geographics completed a Master Address Database needs assessment and budget plan for a single, centralized address source or MAD to solve the problem of duplicated and error-prone addresses.
City of Oakland, CA Enterprise GIS and Master Address Database Development
Challenge
The City of Oakland wanted to improve the efficiency, automation and integration of its location-based data, improve the usefulness and accuracy of its existing parcel data, and develop an enterprise geodatabase to expand city services.
Solution
Farallon built an enterprise-scale parcel database using spatially accurate orthophotographs and then implemented a master address database (MAD), providing the City with a comprehensive inventory of the City's addresses. The system also tied in other outside data sources including the Alameda Assessor's property database and Oakland permit tracking database.
City of Fairfield Master Address Database Development and Integration with Enterprise GIS
Challenge
The City of Fairfield had no single complete, accurate, and current address list that could be used as the authoritative list of business and residential locations for providing essential services. This limited the ability for City departments to coordinate efforts and integrate information across business systems.
Solution
Farallon is developing a comprehensive Master Address Database within the City of Fairfield’s GIS geodatabase.
City of San Mateo Master Address Database
Challenge
Addresses are a key dataset used by the City of San Mateo to provide essential services. No single complete, accurate, and current address list existed within the City that could be used as the authoritative list of business and residential locations. This limited the ability for City departments to coordinate efforts and integrate information across business systems.
Solution
Farallon designed and deployed a Master Address Database (MAD) as a central authoritative service for all City departments. The MAD offers increased data availability, reduced errors and maintenance, elimination of duplicate data, and enhanced City services.
Oakland uses orthophotography & enterprise GIS for parcel management and economic analysis
Challenge
The City of Oakland wanted to improve the usefulness and accuracy of its existing parcel data and integrate it with an enterprise geodatabase to expand city services across multiple departments.
Solution
Farallon and its team built an enterprise-scale parcel database using spatially accurate orthophotographs and integrated it with a new master address database, which was created in just six months. That high level of integration meant that any City information with a spatial or property component could be spatially enhanced, including property review, permit tracking, land-use planning and notification, and E-911 dispatch.
