Oct 12, 2016 -- The industry is full of organizations that have had to “redo” parts of their enterprise distribution platform so that it can address the business goals and meet regulatory requirements. GIS is part of this. Yet, GIS isn’t a single tool. It is a series of individual products that are pieced together to form a platform for addressing business needs. Those who have reviewed Esri’s “Arc-soup” understand. Many utilities have the goal to implement a powerful, easy to use platform that quickly delivers on business needs. However, operators are faced with the challenge to know what are the right products to implement, when to implement them, and who to seek help from?  

Join Novara as we discuss how distribution utilities can take an Esri based, scalable, platform to successfully meet their design, as-built, asset management, compliance, field and DIMP business needs. Its can be run from internal servers or a utility can opt to have it hosted externally. Participants will learn about how the foundation of this solution, Esri’s ArcGIS suite and the UPDM data model work together seamlessly. Learn how to set the implementation schedule up to be completed all at once or over time so as to work with your budget.  Participants will learn how they can use this platform to address the utilities engineering, and compliance requirements inside of the corporate IT structure.
