Informal Poll
How many folks have an enterprise GIS?
Of those, how many are using Esri GIS?
How many expose maps via the web?
Utility Mapping Used to be Cartography
All utilities originated with paper maps
(some still use them)
Usually the source for conversion to digital maps
Mapping Becomes GIS
A geographic information system (GIS) lets us visualize,
question, analyze, and interpret data to understand
relationships, patterns and trends.
Utilities are one of the best case studies for GIS
Utility GIS Defined
Visualization is Easy
Utilities map facilities digital maps
Accessible via devices
Centralized updates
Better maps
Mass produce
paper maps
A geographic information system (GIS)
lets us visualize, question, analyze, and
interpret data to understand relationships,
patterns and trends.
Utility GIS Defined
Relationships Drive Value
Establishes patterns and trends for analysis
Enables decision making
Three key types of relationships…
A geographic information system (GIS)
lets us visualize, question, analyze, and
interpret data to understand relationships,
patterns and trends.
Utility GIS Defined
Relationships Drive Value
#1 Database technology provides classic relationships
A geographic information system (GIS)
lets us visualize, question, analyze, and
interpret data to understand relationships,
patterns and trends.
Location to asset details
Asset to inspection history
Load point to customers
Customers to usage
Utility GIS Defined
Relationships Drive Value
#2 Spatial Awareness Creates New Relationships
A geographic information system (GIS)
lets us visualize, question, analyze, and
interpret data to understand relationships,
patterns and trends.
Proximity to facilities
One Call Boundaries
Easements
Nearest points
Assets within a district

Relationships Drive Value
#3 Networks drive flow and hierarchy
A geographic information system (GIS)
lets us visualize, question, analyze, and
interpret data to understand relationships,
patterns and trends.

Utility GIS Defined
GIS Relationships Drive Immediate Value
Relationships within the GIS establish many patterns and
trends and allow for analysis to occur.
Utilities often spend their first several years establishing data
quality to support these intrinsic GIS relationships
As A Utility Matures, GIS will Relate Outward
Almost ALL data within a utility can be
spatially represented creating new
relationships
GIS Systems Integration powers
exponential decision making
throughout a utility
Utility GIS Systems Integration
Every Utility Has Slightly Different Priorities
Workflow
Design
Planning
Analysis
Operations
Real time monitoring
We have established some common themes through many implementations…
Which have you implemented?
Utility GIS – Most Valuable Integrations
GIS Geodatabase
CIS
Customer
Information
WMS
Workflow,
As-Builts,
Capital Design
DPS Distribution Planning
EAM
Inspections
& Maintenance
OMS
Outage
Management
EA
Engineering
Analysis
Doc
Mgt Images, Permits,
Drawings
SCADA Device Status
AVL
AMI/ MDM
Crew
Locations
Weather
Utility GIS Systems Integration
All of these integrations still considered “traditional GIS”
Most of these patterns have been around for > 15 years
In ~2000 only the largest utilities could afford enterprise integration
We now see cooperatives, municipalities, and other smaller
utilities achieving significant return on investment through
integration
There is value to be realized if you haven’t looked at these areas
The Future of GIS
The Landscape of GIS is Changing

GIS Everywhere Can Be Daunting
ArcGIS Online is the key exposure point for the platform.
How can utilities take their first steps with ArcGIS Online?
Two questions to think about…
How can we expose new data within the utility
while leveraging the existing investment in GIS?
ArcGIS Server
Geodatabases Spreadsheets & Reports
Business
Databases ArcGIS
Online
Question One
Expose New Data Use Case
ArcFM Data Esri Basemap
Spreadsheet
Data
How can we collect and empower the
NEW data points throughout the
organization?
Geoprocessing Systems Integration Workflow
Question Two
Expose Public WebMap
Show Streetlights Combine w/GPS
Capture Outages
Include Photo
Empower New Data Use Case
Email Customer
Auto-Generate Service Request
Empower New Data Use Case
Esri Platform Provides Tools
Utilize the Esri Out-Of-The-Box Apps For Consumption
ArcGIS App
Collector for ArcGIS
ArcGIS Explorer
Operations Dashboard
Esri releases compatible app updates quarterly
Available from the iOS, Android, Windows app stores
ArcGIS Online Architecture
Utility Field Workflows are Quick Wins
Expose New Data to Field Operations
Collect New Data from Field Operations
Empower Your Operations thru Geoprocessing, Systems Integration,
Workflow, & Reporting
Focus on the pattern for ideas – Expose, Collect, Empower
TVA Utilities are Industry Leaders

Transformer Load Reporting
MLGW – The Future Is Now
January 2014
AMI Project Deploying New Smart Meters
ArcGIS Online Allows Capture of Meter
Install Location, Attribution, and Pictures
Deployed via 50 iPhones
Available in GIS (Including Pics) Weekly Collection Reports Feed Meter Data to CIS (GPS, Premise, Date)
MTEMC – The Future Is Now
When transformers are replaced due to failure they are often up-sized to
handle an overloaded scenario
Data is not available for trouble shooter in the field to see
consumption / loading information
Back Office:
New relationship established by service location by phase to xfr
New integration to CIS to get usage information by service location
Usage data aggregated for each transformer asset for winter and
summer
MTEMC – The Future Is Now
Thematic mapping used to represent each transformer’s load vs. capacity
Exposed via ArcGIS Online as a WebMap
Troubleshooter use their phone or tablet
when they arrive on scene
Zoom via GPS in the device
View transformer loading data by color
Click any transformer to view details
MTEMC – The Future Is Now

Final Thought: Focus on the Pattern
Expose New Data to the utility
Collect New Data from the utility
Empower Your Operations thru
Geoprocessing, Systems Integration, Workflow, & Reporting
