For the last seven years MLGW has successfully implemented GIS using ArcGIS/ArcFM ™. The GIS serves as an enterprise backbone for a variety of business applications where utility assets play a crucial role: Inspection, Maintenance, New Construction, OMS, among others.To support the life cycle of MLGW’s assets, SSP has implemented a rule-driven and fully-configurable asset tracking mechanism built into the GIS. Rules specified by different business units determine: What network elements are to be tracked as assets. What attributes of those assets are to be monitored. How and when these attributes may change.
