Telcordia® Network Engineer
Utility Practice
The deregulation of utilities, customer choice, mergers & acquisitions, and Internet technology - factor into the dramatic changes taking place in the utilities industry. To become and remain competitive in today's marketplace, utilities must invest in and deploy technologies that provide accurate and assessable information about their facilities and customers.
Our utility practice is wholly committed to deploying geospatial network management solutions for electric, gas, water and wastewater utilities. The solutions we provide promote better management of your distribution network - supporting reliable service, faster customer response, and informed decision making.
Because we specialize on one platform - ESRI - we provide the expertise necessary to fully leverage your investment GIS technology. If product offerings don't precisely fit your needs, we can develop optimization tools for many utility processes, such as design, construction, operation, and maintenance. A strategic alliance partnership with Miner & Miner™ enables us to implement the ArcFM™ suite - a powerful extension of the ArcGIS™ technology. ArcFM is used for the design and maintenance of a facilities database, map preparation, and network model analysis. For more information on the ArcFM suite of products, visit Miner & Miner's website at www.miner.com/products/index.shtml.
Our utilities practice includes services to:
- Assess, design, and implement new systems
- Expand existing system to fully leverage GIS
- Integrate GIS with existing systems
- Upgrade legacy AM/FM/GIS and CAD-based systems (including AutoCAD® and MicroStation®) to the ArcGIS platform
- Provide implementation and integration of ArcFM
Some additional areas of GIS implementation and integration for utilities include:
- ArcIMS implementation and customization services (ArcIMS provides the foundation for disseminating high-end GIS and mapping services via the Internet)
- Custom field based applications
- Custom ArcObjects™ applications (to extend the capabilities of your ArcGIS or ArcFM system)
- Data migration services
