Big Man on Campus
As a Fortune 500 company, Eli Lilly is faced with the daily task of managing millions of assets, as well as
planning for the future. That future includes nearly one billion dollars worth of combined corporate and
municipal infrastructure improvements over several campuses.
To manage and maintain these assets, Lilly looked to an internal GIS. It needed to incorporate digital
construction documents and surveys, and be capable of supporting 3D modeling and other map data.
Results
The project has developed to serve multi-million dollar projects at the Lilly Corporate Center, the Lilly
Technology Center, the Lilly Materials Center, the Airport Hanger, and Park Fletcher in Indianapolis and the
Greenfield Labs. The GIS is on-going, and in its sixteenth year. It has come to play an essential role in
coordinating hundreds of design projects among consultants across the nation as well as City, State and federal
governments. This fully functional GIS provides:
- Utility and asset management
- Infrastructure protection
- Construction layout and design
- Land title surveys permit approval
- Informed decision making
- Successful tracking of $1.5 billion in city and private infrastructure improvements
