GeoConX 2018 Presentation
Cleco is moving from a homegrown GIS written in Delphi/Pascal/Shapefiles integrated with Schneider Electric ADMS to an Esri® based solution and ArcFM™ Designer integrated with SAP and Schneider Electric ADMS.
This presentation by Cleco and UDC discusses the zero latency benefits of choosing ArcFM Designer as a design tool that communicates with the ADMS as well as the process for identifying extensions/customizations that were required to make sure the tool was accepted by the end users. Moving from a homegrown solution with in-house developers, it can be difficult to narrow down what is needed vs. what is nice to have. UDC worked closely with Cleco’s management team, development team, and end users in making important decisions on adding extended functionality not available in the out of the box application. The presentation also touches on data modeling and integrating the new ArcFM Designer environment with the enterprise wide SAP implementation.
