The NIPSCO Challenge
•Technology:
–ESRI
• ArcGIS Desktop, ArcSDE, ArcIMS, ArcReader
–ArcFM
–SQL Server
–Microsoft .Net
• C#.Net, ASP.Net
EGUG 2007 5
Data Modeling
• It all starts with the data…
–Started with standard Electric data model
–Updated object model with additional Asset tables
–Hub and Spoke Model for Rotating Assets:
• Designed around the asset life cycle
• Capture detail for every event
• Reporting on assets at every stage

Application Customization
•Filling the Application Gap
–Diverse User Groups
• Storeroom Clerks
• GIS Record Clerks
• Engineers
• General Query Users
Asset Queries
GIS Queries
–Right Technology, Right Tools, Right People
