JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (October 8, 2002) -- Idea Integration, the e-business consulting and systems integration solutions unit of MPS Group, Inc. (NYSE:MPS), today announced the expansion and Web integration of an oil and gas land management system for Burlington Resources. Based in Houston, Texas, Burlington Resources is one of the world�s largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies. Idea created and developed the custom mapping solution for Burlington Resources, and is currently migrating the solution to a new desktop environment and the Web.
The oil and gas land management system, named PLAT (Petroleum Land Analysis Tool), is a desktop mapping system that allows Burlington Resources to streamline and manage their extensive oil and gas land assets. Idea developed the system to leverage existing enterprise applications to allow users to browse, query, and display land information from a single interface. The effectiveness of PLAT is proven through time and cost savings as well as through its ability to execute analytical GIS functions not previously available.
�PLAT is one of the most powerful tools ever designed for land personnel,� said Ed Morrissey, senior vice president for Idea. �Our GIS team and application developers were able to develop this personalized system that caters specifically to the needs of Burlington�s land managers. The integration with enterprise applications has been invaluable, and the solution has proved successful for Burlington Resources.�
