Planning for your enterprise strategy allows you to evaluate your utility’s existing technology landscape, where your utility wants to go within the selected technology, and which integrations are required to get you there. Our process and tools are specific to how utilities leverage their GIS and how that platform integrates to other commonly used systems within utilities.
UDC’s high-level GIS Strategic Roadmap determines the effort and plans with you accordingly to reach your enterprise goals, including transition to Network Management (ArcGIS Utility Network) or ADMS. We custom-build your roadmap around your utility’s current GIS capabilities and provide you the framework for moving forward from your unique position.
Maximize Your GIS Investment
Our UDC designed reference Enterprise GIS solution architectures build on your enterprise vision, showing you what is possible for your utility currently and where your utility can go through extending your GIS investment. Applying these models allows us to generate your roadmap deliverables in just one set of workshops, which have been crafted based on the real-world input from clients on similar journeys. Our solution architectures enable us to quickly deliver your future state view in applicable business releases and additionally provide your utility with reusable cost models to support your unique business cases.
Incorporate Your Business
Beyond technology, our team understands the importance of incorporating your utility’s business processes, delivery challenges, safety concerns, and compliance requirements within your roadmap. Having created our own solution architectures, we understand all business systems, business processes, and related high-value integrations.
