SADES DATA COLLECTION
S.A.D.E.S. Statewide Asset Data Exchange System SADES (Statewide Asset Data Exchange System) establishes a primary transportation inventory of assets including a maintainable condition assessment process for many state and local agencies. Its unique approach to statewide asset management efficiently utilizes modern technology and joins efforts for the common good of accurate and sustainable data collection. Even though the Technology Transfer Center has made asset management software packages available for over 25 years, it wasn’t until changes in technology aligned with software advances to make asset data management available and easy to use for any agency. ESRI (a geographic information system company) software, ArcDesktop and ArcOnline, allows anyone with a smart phone or tablet to have access to the asset management database.
