Let’s talk gINT and growth. In short where have we been and where are we going.
Where we’ve been
gINT was founded in 1985 to provide centralized data management and reporting for geotechnical subsurface projects of all types. The software automates many repetitive tasks, eliminates redundant data entry, and dramatically increases productivity. Over time it has changed from a DOS to ACCESS base, adding SQL server. And even though gINT is 34 years young, it’s still a workhorse of a database management system with a powerful reporting engine.
As technology and workflows advance and continue to do so at rapid pace. gINT is staying in step so geoprofessionals can continue to easily communicate and collaborate with other civil professionals. In 2016 Bentley released gINT Civil Tools. This sister product has added 3D visualization and analysis and is the first member of what will be an expanding gINT family of applications, bridging the gap for geoprofessionals to enable the BIM workflow.
Where we’re going
Looking forward, we will be moving gINT from a desktop application to an enterprise application with the addition of cloud based modules. The first module will be announced at our upcoming Year In Infrastructure (YII) event this fall.
