Web-based GIS application Enlighten, by Open Spatial, uses AutoDesk MapGuide to render vector-based map graphics such as aerial photography and contours within a browser, while storing spatial data within Oracle (which also contains billing and customer service data) using an Open GeoSpatial format.

Open Spatial Australia managing director Anthony Jahshan said while a CWW-Open Spatial team will provide training, consultancy firm LogicaCMG will assist with improving database architectures.

Project costs were not disclosed.
