Public Utilities

Public utilities—municipal gas and electric companies, rural electric authorities and cooperatives, regional and local telephone and cable companies—face special challenges in designing and implementing information systems that rely on spatial data.

PlanGraphics understands the needs of public utilities and how to meet them. We know that these utilities need a clearly defined project approach that explicitly indicates goals, objectives, costs, and benefits—and that can provide a rapid return on investment.

PlanGraphics can provide turnkey systems, or we can utilize traditional build, operate, and transfer (BOT) methodologies. Either way, we’ll help the utility take advantage of and build on its existing CAD investments. We’ll add enhanced spatial and network analysis capabilities, along with linkages to other technologies like enterprise resource planning (ERP), work management systems (WMS), outage management systems (OMS), electronic document management systems (EDMS), and trouble call analysis (TCA) systems.

Because we are experienced in both the utility and the local government information system environment, we can help utilities assess—and capitalize on—the potential for sharing data with local governments. We can even help work out creative approaches to financing information systems for the public utility.

 

 

 

 

Another advantage to PlanGraphics is our multiplatform capabilities. We are independent of system vendors, so we can support you no matter what system is best for you.
