We have several versions of Elements Management Software - our Enterprise Edition directly uses the ArcGIS engine for the asset / feature data repository - there is no duplicate data, synchronization, or proprietary data models that rely on vendor support in this version. Any other GIS-centric solution may also concurrently utilize the asset / feature data; all asset and feature data is created and maintained in the ArcGIS software. Thanks Gregory!

1) Esri ArcGIS geodatabase is the asset / feature data repository.
2) -redundant asset / feature data storage with no reliance on views, links, data mapping, or database triggers.
3) User-definable asset / feature data model that is customizable without vendor support.
4) Non-proprietary asset / feature data structures for field names, types, tables, relationships, and other data design elements.
5) Shared asset / feature data design allowing other GIS-centric solutions to concurrently utilize the asset / feature data.
6) Inherently location-aware asset / feature data structure, enabling full utilization of GIS analysis and modeling tools.
7) ArcGIS software is used to create and maintain the asset / feature data – including for coordinates, shapes, attributes, and data error identification and correction methods – preserving the integrity of the geodatabase relationships, domains, data types, etc.
