Harness the Power of GIS for Utilities Esri's GIS solutions help utility executives, managers, engineers and field workers better understand the geographic relationships that affect their operations. This leads to improved asset documentation and management, higher levels of customer service, better service outage management and improved communications with customers. GIS plays a vital role in determining where assets are located, how they are connected or configured, and what needs to be done to meet the needs of the utility customers, stakeholders, employees and society. Asset Management Network Planning & Design Operational Awareness Mobile Operations 2 Esri Canada | Harness the Power of GIS for Utilities A GIS is the best solution for documenting where assets are located and how they're connected. It also documents how the assets were constructed by providing an as-built system for capturing and maintaining utility assets. GIS-based design tools provide insight into the geographical considerations that are inherent in network planning and construction. They ensure faster, more efficient and cost- effective engineering design development that conforms to utility standards. A common operating picture is a powerful tool that provides a high level of situational awareness into ongoing operations. A comprehensive dashboard gives utility staff an integrated information centre that facilitates informed decision making and optimized planning. GIS enables mobile workers to access the same information as back-office workers, making them more efficient and effective. Integration between the back office and the field eliminates data backlogs and errors. Productivity improvements lead to increased customer satisfaction.
