The processing capabilities of GIS and the system ability to manipulate geo-referenced data and results in different formats and models make them suitable for planning and operation of all activities of the Construction & Maintenance Group of SAC, Ahmedabad. This is specially designed software for the Civil, Electrical and Horticultural wing of Construction and Maintenance Group, Space Applications Centre (ISRO) in many ways to improve the Planning, Maintenance and Information standards. In this software, all physical information like Vikramnagar area, all buildings, roads, water supply lines, drainage lines, fire fighting lines, pump house, wells, bore points, recharge wells, and STP plant, torrent power substations, DG set rooms, LT panels, LT cables, electrical light poles and solar light poles, nursery area and trees are converting into digital forms using GIS by developing different layers. Thus Digital information will be used for identification of each utility and finally, this software will provide information of the entire Vikramnagar housing colony related to Construction & Maintenance Group by providing instant records availability. The Utility system load flow based on GIS presented in the paper is an ideal tool for performing the analysis and viewing the results on a map superimposed with other geographic layers. It allows power system planners to work on the real system by relating the output to the location of load and feeder. Together with the utilization of water supply lines, fire fighting lines, drainage lines, all buildings, roads, trees and power distribution the System will become an essential tool for utility decision makers and the Occupants of the colony. The data of water supply, fire fighting, drainage and power distribution systems are very complicated to update, and there is a lack of linkage between spatial and non-spatial data. Thus, the design and implementation of a Geographical Information System (GIS) based Utility Management System at DOS Housing Colony, Vikramnagar, Ahmedabad for the purpose of efficient network monitoring and providing instant information access to all concerned engineers, is essential to minimize time for maintenance of water supply, fire fighting, drainage and power systems, and for efficient planning and Preventive Maintenance. GIS technology provides the facility to create, store, manipulate and analyze the spatial database. The aim of this paper is to describe the benefits of GIS technology in the field of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Horticulture. GIS technology enables easy update of information which facilitates design and development of cost effective water supply, fire fighting, drainage and power distribution systems. Traditionally, databases regarding maintenance of water supply, fire fighting, drainage and power distribution systems, and enhancement of load on substations, Low Tension (LT) panels and feeders, fault logging etc. are made on paper sheets. Thus the functional objective of this paper is to develop a GIS system which would be useful for maintenance and management of these systems within Vikramnagar in Ahmedabad. GIS based Utility Management System provides the facility to overlay analysis for all utilities. This system further enables update of the maintenance schedule of Electrical wing, civil wing etc. A GIS based Utility Management System also provides basic GIS functionalities like map Navigation, measurement of all utilities and feature identification.

As part of an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) bestpractices strategy, organizations require innovative solutions for migrating data between storage systems, especially in heterogeneous environments. To support this need, we as planed to design a powerful tool that enables affordable, high-performance data migration in a wide range of storage environments. This project is the unique challenges of data migration in dynamic IT environments and the key business advantages that we have designed to provide over traditional tools used for migration.
