Attendees of the 2019 Esri UC have several opportunities to learn about advancements in gas outage response and restoration for utilities including user presentations, showcase sessions, and solution demonstrations.
Esri will host two showcase sessions highlighting how the ArcGIS platform is equipping utilities to better manage planned and unplanned outages in new ways. Both sessions will take place during Expo hours on Tuesday and Wednesday of the conference.
Tuesday afternoon, Vermont Gas and UDC will present on the deployment of an end-to-end gas outage management system solution built on ArcGIS. We will discuss the collaborative effort championed by the Northeast Gas Association to develop an OMS solution that addresses the unique processes of gas outage and restoration. Solution capabilities and flagship implementation at Vermont Gas will be detailed. In addition, conference goers can stop in the UDC Expo Booth #201 for a demonstration of Gas OMS. View the presentation.
We invite you to attend these unique opportunities to learn about the evolving transformation of gas outage management. Following are the details of our Esri User presentation and the showcase sessions.
Session: GIS for Gas Outage Response

Gas Outage System Deployment at Vermont Gas
James Cunningham, Faye Hall
Vermont Gas in cooperation with the Northeast Gas Association has been pioneering an Esri based Solution for Gas Outage Management. This presentation will discuss the design, architecture and capabilities being deployed. Vermont like other utilities has previous handled all outage events and restorations manually. Vermont Gas has leveraged their existing Esri technology to create a much-improved approach to managing outages.
Esri Showcase: Transforming Gas Outage Restoration Management

Regulatory, customer, and other stakeholder drivers are causing gas utilities to rethink how they up their game in restoring services following planned and unplanned outages. Recent enhancements to ArcGIS platform capabilities make it possible for you to approach the outage challenge in important new ways. This session will provide you, as GIS professionals, an overview of how ArcGIS Pro, Collector for ArcGIS, Workforce for ArcGIS, the Utility Network, imagery, real-time information, analytics, and other capabilities of ArcGIS can support better gas outage restoration management.
