GeoMedia WebMap helps improve communication and data sharing for employees, customers and citizens.

The City of Abbotsford, British Columbia, is taking steps to substantially enhance city services on the Internet thanks to a partnership with Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions. Using Intergraph's GeoMedia WebMap technology, the City has created an immense database of geographic information that is available to City of Abbotsford citizens and customers seven days a week, 24 hours a day over the Internet. The City's Mayor, George Ferguson, and Jim Wickson, vice president of Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions for North America, announced the partnership at a recent meeting with City of Abbotsford officials.

Mayor Ferguson stated, "The Abbotsford e-government strategy will alter the way we deliver city services in the future. Our e-government goals are clear: create a user-friendly, interactive Web site; use leading-edge service, business, and technology applications; provide enhanced city services for citizens and customers; and position Abbotsford as an attractive, high-quality place to live and do business. Clearly, our partnership with Intergraph and the implementation of their Web mapping technology will help us achieve these goals."
