Replicating everything you already have in your current GIS in the Utility Network, Esri’s modern network management, is the easiest thing to do. However, simply lifting & shifting what you already have in a new, state-of-the-art platform leaves enormous business value on the table. The real business value lies in solving a new set of business challenges at the utility. Solving these challenges requires looking beyond what has been done in the past to everything possible with the power of the UN. As the business drivers for GIS have evolved, so must the system itself.

Your move to the UN provides an opportunity to move beyond traditional GIS capabilities to advanced data analytics. The modern utility needs actionable information, at a pace that matches demand, in a format that is accessible and easy to understand. The UN is the perfect platform for performing complex analyses that translate to fast, effective operational decisions.
