13 Why Infrastructure Coordination Now? Concerns about aging systems at an all time high More maintenance, more contention for ROW Paving costs are soaring with higher oil prices Water pipe replacement programs Lead replacements CIP Gas pipe replacement programs in process 173,000 miles of old pipes in US alone Funding remains a challenge, thus finding all possible efficiencies is essential 25 Appropriate Technology Oracle 98 of Fortune 100 are Oracle customers; world s largest enterprise software company ESRI World leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) NAVTEQ Provides digital map info for webbased mapping products (72 countries)
