BENEFITS OF CAD CONVERSION

Improved operational efficiency

Including, doing more with the same or fewer resources-for example, avoiding the addition of more clerical staff to deal with growing requirements for information products.

Deriving greater benefit from staff activities for example, making corporate information readily available to everyone, thereby facilitating greater delegation of authority maintaining or reducing expenditures for data maintenance and related administrative tasks-for example, automating map updates.

Improved effectiveness

An improved information flow to management and between departments- for example, organization-wide standardized databases, facilitating fewer custom reports and inaccessible information.

Better utilization of staff-for example, staff who can devote more time to their key responsibilities and less to information gathering better decisions resulting from the review of more alternatives prior to committing to a course of action-for example, testing the impact on property values prior to developing a new commercial site in a residential area.

Increased wealth as a result of more effective expenditure of tax dollars and fewer administration costs, in turn providing funds to spend on other projects.

Better service to the public, directly through faster processing of permits and approvals, and indirectly through fewer service interruptions as a result of maintenance

For a company, these benefits translate into increased company performance, including: Increased profits from more effective decisions and use of resources . Making it easier to do business.
