GIS for Utilities
Modernize workflows, create actionable data, reduce costs, and prepare for new challenges.
Location is at the core of many utilities’ daily and long-term planning, but it’s about more than making a map. In Delivering Water and Power: Applying GIS for Utilities, see how public and private utilities around the world have implemented geographic information systems (GIS) to visualize and analyze data for situational awareness, operational efficiency, and asset management.
Through web apps, online maps, dashboards, and other GIS solutions, utility professionals develop a deeper understanding of network maintenance and performance within a real-world context, increasing operational flexibility, creating a safer environment for workers, and raising customer satisfaction.
Edited by Pat Hohl, Esri's director of electric industry solutions, and Keith Mann, an Esri product engineer.
