Interfaces

The following is a list of software and formats that the Partner System can exchange data with. It is by no means complete, and we add new interfaces on a regular basis. Please contact us if you have any special interface needs.

Mapping

Currently, we support viewing for all AutoCAD-, ArcView-, ArcInfo-, and Smallworld-based mapping systems. We can also import and view data from all major accounting/CIS systems, MilSoft WindMil, and U.S. Census TIGER files. We export DXF and shape files.

Partner's Field Designer staking data can be imported directly into the following mapping/GIS systems using automated interfaces:

• Applied Technology Solutions (ATS),
• Milsoft's Milsoft's WindMilMap
• OneGIS' ArcFM Solution by Miner & Miner
• Patterson and Dewar Engineers' PDMap,
• PDA/Origin GeoSystem's Origin GIS.

Accounting

We have the following accounting systems interfaces available:

• ATS Accounting System.
• Central Services Association,
• Daffron & Associates' Consumer Information System,
• National Information Solutions Cooperative's (NISC) CAPS XL and CAPS XL Plus (CAPD) Accounting System,
• Orcom™ Accounting System supported by Utility Solutions,
• SCT's REACT 5.0 Accounting System,
• Southeastern Data Cooperative's (SEDC) General Accounting System,

We add additional interfaces as demand merits.

Operations Manager

The following dynamic interfaces are available in the Operations Manager:

• dataVoice International,

GPS

All of Partner's applications that include a map view include support for real-time GPS. We support any NMEA-compatible GPS, including those from vendors such as Garmin, Trimble, Magellan, and others.

Office and Other Software

Reports, map plots, and data can be imported and exported in a variety of formats from the Partner system. These include text, comma-separated, fixed-width, PDF, SQL, ODBC, HTML, XML, ESRI shapefile, email, and others. Partner data and reports can easily be loaded into applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, or Access, and we can also extract data from such applications for use in our Map Viewer or other systems.
