Data exchangeThe IMS DE pipe survey reporting software from flexidata™ was developed by NEZTEK and MITS of New Zealand in cooperation with flexidata to provide a seamless electronic data transfer between Hansen IMS Version 7 and flexidata™ pipe survey reporting software for Windows. The software extracts Hansen IMS V.7 CCTV pipeline header information to a format suitable for import into flexidata. It enables inspection observations to be associated to their correctly identified section of pipeline and after data verification, be transferred electronically back into Hansen IMS V.7x. The IMS DE package operates independently of either software package.flexidataThousand Palms, CATel: 760-343-7350 x-255Web: www.flexi-data.com
