A geographic information system (GIS) is a language for communicating
content and processes for the utility business. People working in the utility
industry need a better understanding of the context of change, what it
means, and how they can manage their present and their future. They need
better information and a framework for understanding and collaboration.
As utilities merge and staff shrink, sharing workflows in an automated and
systematic way is vital. The enterprise GIS platform facilitates
collaboration by unifying the underlying data infrastructure and workflows
with other key utility information system (IS) platforms such as SCADA;
enterprise resource planning (ERP); asset, work, and outage management;
and field force automation.
