Some Background

  • 1. After we setup Pontis 5.1.0.3 on our

server, we didn’t want to manually enter the bridge inspection reports

  • urselves.
  • 2. Since we were now on a server, we

wanted the bridge inspectors to enter their bridge inspection reports into our server.

use National Bridge Elements (NBE’s).

  • 2. Getting BrM off our INTRAnet and

available for consultant inspectors.

Custom HDOT Forms and Reports:

  • 1. Inspector goes into BrM and selects

a bridge.

  • 2. Inspector goes to “Reports” tab to

print out the bridge inspection form for the selected bridge.

  • 3. Custom form automatically inserts

the NBE’s elements for the selected bridge.

Why Internet?

  • 1. Issues with Consultant inspectors,

and County inspectors accessing

  • ur Intranet server.
  • 2. Allows more flexibility in

accessing our BrM database.

  • 1. Laptops, Iphones, Ipads, etc.
  • 2. HDOT staff can access BrM

program anywhere.

BrM on the Internet

  • 1. Security concerns from our IT Staff.
  • 2. Learned about Hawaii’s

Government Private Cloud (GPC).

  • 3. GPC: use remote servers (in the

cloud) rather than using our local server.

BrM on the Internet: Great results!

1. Mid-May, 2015, we contacted a State agency to get onto the cloud. 2. We were lucky: we were one of the first government agencies to request use of the GPC: a. Free use of the server. b. GPC takes care of backups, updates, and anti-virus. c. We just update the web server when there are updates to BrM.

BrM on the Internet: Great results!

1. Requested use of the GPC in mid-May, 2015. 2. GPC’s Contractor started work immediately. 3. Beta testing from mid-May to early July, 2015. 4. BrM on GPC available to public on July 15, 2015 (ON THE INTERNET IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS!)
