PipelineOffice® Studio makes it easy for pipeline operators to view, query, and analyze their data. The process of maintaining pipeline safety and integrity can be challenging, partly due to the large amount of disparate data that must be integrated and analyzed.  PipelineOffice® Studio allows the operator to easily assimilate this data for immediate analysis and decision support, including pipeline asset data, risk results, integrity data, inline inspection surveys, CIS data and more.  A synchronized map is integrated with a dynamic band and data viewer, which presents the data in a unique and familiar way.  Powerful GIS functionality from Esri is integrated with the product, providing access to the geodatabase and other data sources, as well as advanced mapping, analysis, and geo-processing capabilities.
