Utility Network Pilot Program

The advancement towards smarter networks with more complex equipment and increased resiliency requirements is accelerating. The CEA identified the rapid increase in distributed energy and scalable network management as areas where traditional network management tools and processes will not be able to keep up. To address tomorrow’s challenges, utilities need a more comprehensive network model and data management environment. This is the purpose of Utility Network (UN).

The UN supports the management, maintenance and analysis of increasingly complex networks to better represent assets as they are in the field. It creates a data layer to provide a scalable foundation to model all your utility assets safely and efficiently. Additionally, the UN supports the seamless sharing of that content throughout the entire ArcGIS platform, creating opportunities for streamlining business workflows that likely touch your entire operational workforce.
