UDC was recognized by Esri with a 2026 Esri Partner Award for Network Information Management at the annual Esri Infrastructure Management & GIS (IMGIS) Conference, held October 27–29 in Palm Springs, California.
The award recognizes UDC’s achievements in helping utility and infrastructure organizations solve business challenges through innovative use of Esri’s ArcGIS technology. As one of 12 organizations recognized across multiple industries, UDC was honored for advancing network information management and for delivering GIS-based solutions that support customers’ evolving operational needs.
UDC’s recent work with CORE Electric Cooperative demonstrates this commitment by helping the utility advance its grid modernization efforts and lay the groundwork for a digital twin.
This recognition reflects UDC’s broader commitment to helping utilities modernize network information management systems, improve the quality and accessibility of critical infrastructure data, and integrate GIS with enterprise and operational systems. By building a trusted data foundation and enabling more connected views of the grid, UDC helps utilities move toward digital twins that support better planning, informed decision-making, and improved business and operational outcomes.
