Bio
Ahmad Hafifi Yusof is a Manager, Implementation & Maintenance Services (Geomatics) in ICT Division of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) Malaysia. He’s been serving TNB since December 2005. Graduated with Bachelor Degree (BA.Hons) in Computer Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johor. Currently he’s involved in implementing Corporate Geospatial Information System for TNB, in-charge of GIS Data Management for the project. He has more than 6 years’ experience in GIS implementation in TNB.

Abstract
Data Update Device for TNB’s Corporate Geospatial Information System (CGIS) TenagaNasionalBerhad (TNB) is the largest electricity utility company in Malaysia with almost RM87 billion in assets. TNB's core businesses comprise of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. TNB also manages and operates Malaysia’s National Grid. Corporate Geospatial Information System (CGIS) is one of TNB’s enterprise initiatives aimed to improve the organization’s efficiency and reduce operational costs. Other than serving TNB’s core businesses, CGIS is also used to manage the internal TNB fiber optic network, property management, security and logistics.One of the factors that is critical towards the successful implementation of CGIS in TNB is ensuring that all data required for CGIS functionalities are always available, accurate and of high integrity. High data integrity can only be realized by making sure that any changes to data in the field be immediately updated into the CGIS databases. This can be achieved by providing proper field data capture or update tool to the users on top of the approved work processes. Furthermore, the use of this tool shall be made compulsory as part of their daily works.This paper focuses on CGIS challenges and experience in implementing onsite electronic data capturing and data entry of TNB’s assets onto mobile device. This adoption of proper work tool and revised process is intended to replace the current manual hardcopy forms. This new tool is also expected to improve staff productivity.

Abstract
"Decision-Ready" High-Accuracy Maps While Still In-The-Air, As They Are Collected! Geospatial professionals today are, in many cases, required to deliver highly accurate information about ground objects in the form of orthorectified imagery quickly and efficiently. An initial step in crisis-response, for example, is gathering precise geospatial data for identifying the scope of damage, the specific areas of greatest loss, and the population areas most in need of immediate assistance. The faster this critical information is provided, the faster the response teams can plan and execute their relief activities. In light of this, Airborne Remote Sensing - a method for acquiring highly accurate information about ground objects from a small plane or helicopter - is an increasingly important tool. Applanix has developed new airborne digital imaging technology that delivers full-res and accurate orthophotos in real-time - while still-in-the-air and executing the mission. The benefits are tremendous - from in-air quality control to almost immediate availability of the final map products to decision-makers. And unlike traditional systems, these systems are designed to operate efficiently on even the smallest of aircraft and offer the most cost-effective, practical, and easy-to-execute solutions. This technology is a "game-changer" for a number of applications, including most notably:Emergency Response, where data collection and imagery evaluation is required for providing direction and coordination to emergency first-responders; Change Detection and Infrastructure Management, including gas and other facilities; and Any commercial ortho mapping requiring rapid and efficient product delivery. In this presentation we discuss the power, productivity, and ease-of-use of this technology.
