The requirements of the user can be described with: easy use of the software adequate user interface usage in relation to various applications optimised work process considering the components human, work process, EDP These points are driven largely by the human interface. An easy understandable graphical user interface (GUT) with simple dialogues and masks make usage simple. Regulations for input and output and functionality for error detection during parameter input increase not only the comfort but also help the user to increase reliability. The GUI only presents items which are relevant for current task. Typically a sophisticated GUI guides the user through a work flow in a controlled manner such that these is nearly no possibility of error. Vendor provided GUIs should be viewed as such that they represent a proposed GUI with additional tools to provide customised GUIs. A GIS consists of so many diverse applications, that no vendor can provide a complete ‘CAD’ style turnkey approach. Each special application requires an extended GUI. Therefore tools to extend the system are imperative. GIS as an optimal tool for management requires a large num- ber of analysis functions and the overall inclusion of different type of data. The data exchange between different systems becomes more and more important. The following points should to be considered in this context: analysis of spatial, attribute and time data integration of digital terrain models (2 or 2 % D) integration of remotely sensed data integration of digital photogrammetric data inclusion of GPS meta databases for overview and exchange of existing data common data models for storage and the presentation of topography and schematics 6.2 Killer criteria The criteria of truth for reaching the objectives of a GIS application is the user. Therefore the requirements for methods to develop new software strategies have to be elaborated by reaching the targets of the users. Today, available GIS applications (starter kits) normally are not process oriented. There are almost no planning and maintenance modules available in the market. The applications are dominated by simple database dialogues for creation, modification, and deletion of data sets and simple routines for generating graphical elements (areas, lines, points, symbols etc.). Compared with commercial applications this would indicate that instead of a program for billing or notices of non- payment only the bill- and customer database is available in combination with database tools. To develop an application, which is acceptable to the end user, so-called killer criteria have to be examined. These are mandatory system requirements which must be fulfilled as a precondition for the preselection process of selecting a system (e.g. Gauss-Kriiger coordinates, seamless data integration, Client-server aspects etc.). The next step consists of the adjustment of the so-called frame conditions. This relates to the compatibility with existing EDP, ‘operating systems’, supported data bases, interfaces and data integrity. The last step is the definition of the application spectrum and the functionality of the GIS. An essential point of view is the availability of existing applications (data and representation models as well as human guidance). 7. Conclusion In order to make the introduction of GIS successful, we recommend a detailed organised definition of targets. The top management should be heavily involved in the evaluation process and the communication with the project team should be very close. This leads not only to an overall accepted project, but also a desire to reach strategic goals. Business and work processes become shorter and more optimised. The organi- sational structures become lean, work places and working times become more attractive. The experts competence and qualification will be increased. 8.
