Between the Poles has a great and long article about GIS and other departments in work environments. From the conclusion: "There has been a cultural divide between CAD and GIS propagated by the “wall of mystery” surrounding GIS. CAD/GIS integration provides the ability to seamlessly work with both CAD and GIS data within a single environment and the power to blend powerful CAD design tools with robust, well-managed geospatial database is no longer a mystery. It is easier than ever for engineers and GIS professionals to work together, leverage each other’s domain expertise, and share information. We all work in hybrid IT environments with many different applications and databases."
