Case Study: California Data Collaborative improves smart water management with Ellipsis Drive

California Data Collaborative Smart Water Management Solutions

The California Data Collaborative (CaDC) faced a challenge in its mission to regulate water use efficiency across the state. Water agencies were unable to utilize high-resolution satellite imagery data provided to them due to its large volume and the lack of technical capacity and GIS software, leading to project mismanagement and miscommunication. To overcome this, CaDC turned to Ellipsis Drive for a solution.

Ellipsis Drive hosted the spatial data on its cloud, converting it into a live, interactive map that was easily accessible and explorable by all agencies on any device. This solution eliminated data lags and provided a simple, collaborative way to visualize the high-volume data. As a result, CaDC greatly appreciated Ellipsis Drive's performance and transparent pricing, and plans to expand the partnership to leverage its API for web applications.
