The document discusses how utilities are moving towards enterprise GIS platforms to better integrate and analyze spatial and asset data across their organizations. It provides examples of how Memphis Light Gas & Water and Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation leveraged ArcGIS Online and mobile data collection to improve their asset management and field operations by exposing new types of data to field crews and collecting additional information. The key is for utilities to focus on exposing new data sources, collecting data from the field, and empowering operations through spatial analysis, systems integration and workflows.
A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographical information science or geospatial information studies to refer to the academic discipline or career of working with geographic information systems and is a large domain within the broader academic discipline of Geoinformatics. In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and computer science technology.

How to Easily Load Data into ArcGIS for Local GovernmentSafe Software
Find out how to take advantage of the 50+ maps and apps available with ArcGIS for Local Government. You’ll first learn about the benefits of this initiative from Esri’s ArcGIS for Local Government Project Manager, Scott Oppmann. Then, via demos from Steve MacCabe (Safe Software) and Steve Grise (Vertex3), you’ll discover how to easily load data into this information model and perform QC during the load process to maintain data integrity.
This is the end of project presentation for the project performed at Royal Commission Yanbu. The scope of the project was to develop and maintain 22 applications along with strategic planning, importing tablets and Kiosks and developing applications for them.
All predictions are wrong; some are useful. This presentation offers a slate of "ripe issues" that were developed in discussion with the OGC Board of Directors and expanded in a blog series. The issues were developed by reviewing over 200 articles from geospatial industry publications as well as from information technology journals (IEEE, ACM, etc.).
These Ripe Issues of geospatial technology identify areas where further development of open standards can lead to great benefit. The OGC is an international consortium where members participate in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards.
The ripe issues of geospatial technology identified in March 2013 are:
• The Power of Location
• Internet of Things
• Mobile Development
• Indoor Frontier
• Cartographers of the future
• Big Processing of Geospatial Data
• Smart Cities Depend on Smart Location
• Policy implementation
Streetlight poles and luminaires are ideal hosts for connecting sensors. They provide fine-grained information about the urban environment, and are used to provide adaptive lighting but also feed into many municipal systems and departments. Examples include minute-by-minute traffic analytics or street-by-street air quality monitoring.
But if street lighting is to become the catalyst for “smart city” applications, lighting professionals need to understand when to harness sensor data, and when to consider application data or predictive “big data”. The world is changing and we need to take a wider view. Keith will focus on deployed use cases to help to make sense of the practical and economic implications of these important developments.
Talk by Keith Henry AMILP, Telensa
Geo-Enabling Retail and Property (with emergent location solutions)
Steven Eglinton, GeoEnable
First presented at The SLA Forum 2013
In this presentation I will examine how Location Analytics, as a technology solution and a term, is very rapidly becoming a mainstream concept in IT and GIS.
With examples, what one thought of as specialised tools, such as GIS, are now being ‘democratised’ and embedded in easy-to-use business processes and workflows.
With examples of how this could benefit the property and retail sector, I will examine the main and most important trends in, ‘Geospatial’ and Location Analytics that affect anyone involved in spatial analysis or GIS. These trends really are ‘game changers’ compared with the last 35 years of GIS and Location Technologies and need to be understood to leverage the potential benefits.
1. Cloud GIS – off-premise hosted mapping and location analytics tools. This can dramatically reduce costs and complexity of implementation.
2. ‘Big Data’ – analysing and visualising vast quantities of near real-time data
Location Analytics – the use of, what would have been called GIS technologies, embedded in systems for NON-specialist users.
3. Dynamic (Real-time) Mapping
4. Open Data – Open data from the UK and US for use in business context. This includes postcode data, which is now free to use
5. Mobility – Real-time maps in people’s pockets! with the ability to edit and capture new data
6. Embedding Location – In Processes and integration of Location in enterprise solutions – esp for Asset Management / ERP
7. Location for all – Location Analytics is becoming part of peoples’ jobs as part of a workflow. Typically non-specialist users are now leveraging ‘GIS-like’ technologies without even knowing.

With the release of Esri's new ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing (APR) tools in 2017, we got to work immediately deploying the new extensions for our clients. This presentation will focus on SCANA Energy's APR implementation and lessons learned throughout the deployment. Topics will range from source data preparation, UPDM extensions, APR architecture, installation, licensing, APR core data loading and end user data editing workflows.
The new Esri Utility Network was released into beta earlier this year. SSP has worked with many utility customers to extensively test the new network including data migration, creating circuits & systems, editing data, and utility tracing. Join SSP and Intermountain REA to review how the testing has gone, what works well, and what needs improvement in the new Utility Network. We will also cover key aspects of the new network that will affect your utility so you can be prepared for your move to the Utility Network!
UPDM & APR Implementation for Gas TransmissionSSP Innovations
With the release of Esri's ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing (APR) in early 2017, Memphis Light, Gas & Water (MLGW) identified the extensions as desirable tools to manage their gas transmission assets. The key driver for MLGW was the ability to utilize software within the Esri stack for editing linear referenced pipelines, viewing and reporting. This presentation will focus on MLGW’s APR implementation and include elements around the hardware/software architecture, Utility Pipeline Data Model, data migration across multiple sources, implementation of the Esri software and creation of a viewing/reporting application within Web App Builder.
In 2015, CoServ made the determination to migrate all asset data management into IBM Maximo. We opted to leverage ArcGIS for Server as our main integration point between Maximo and GIS. By hosting our utility infrastructure data in feature services, we allowed Maximo to view spatially enabled information for visualization within its own environment. Additionally, Maximo updates feature classes and their related tables based upon changes made in Maximo seamlessly through the services. By leveraging Global IDs and GUIDs as the direct linkage between Maximo assets and GIS features, CoServ is now able to ingest Maximo assets directly into the GIS environment. This presented GIS end users access to asset related information in their native environment. The migration has been a highly successful implementation. It has alleviated the strain on GIS to manage and maintain asset related information while still providing a way for GIS to access it. This solution has provided a stable integration between the two environments with minimal customizations. By thinking a bit out of the box, CoServ was able to create a unique integration that solved all of our problems.
The Utility Network is the on the horizon. Duane Holt from Intermountain Rural Electric Association (IREA) has had a chance to use the beta of the Utility Network. He will share his experience and give his positives and negatives of this new technology. John Coleman from SSP Innovations, an Esri partner, will demonstrate the tools they have been building to answer the questions and concerns IREA and other utilities have about the Utility Network. This will include a few demonstrations covering each of the topics that IREA experienced during the Utility Network jumpstart.
MTEMC’s State 0 Changes with 1700+ Versions IntactSSP Innovations
MTEMC recently completed a major project to merge multiple geodatabases into a single new GDB, apply data model changes along with corresponding data migration, and to implement voltage levels with feeder manager 2.0 to provide connectivity upstream of a circuit breaker. Several of these changes required the geodatabase to be at state 0 (no versions). MTEMC utilized SSP Innovations' All Edits State 0 technology to successfully complete this project while maintaining their 1700+ design versions.
Maximizing ROI on Utility Work Management SystemsSSP Innovations
Utility IT Departments must carefully assess several factors when searching for and acquiring new enterprise systems that ultimately affect the overall success or failure of the system. This presentation will review important high value considerations of Work Management Systems at utility organizations. Considerations such as implementation personnel expertise, extensibility, configurability, support, and system data models all play a role in the end cost of a system. Each of these factors and more will be examined in light of examples provided by SSP’s Work Management System, WFM aka Workforce Management.
Connexus Energy needed to find a new way to report outages to their Responder™ OMS beyond traditional IVR. With a combination of web portal, middleware and a Multispeak-based web service, customers can now log into the portal and report outages. This allows Connexus to handle more outage calls by alleviating the restriction on the number of phone lines required, and reduces the time it takes to report an outage. Learn more about the technologies used and the outcome in this informative session.
CoServ has been using ArcGIS/ArcFM/Designer™ successfully for over 10 years. As part of a recent Maximo/GIS integration effort, CoServ has reviewed its business workflows with SSP. In particular, and within GIS, CoServ’s designs life cycles have been altered to include: Pre-Posting to DEFAULT, and removal from SDE of the Esri version as soon as the design is in construction. As well as Partial Energization as a means to gradually post portions of as-built network into DEFAULT.
The most important benefits from introducing these steps are: A.- Early availability to the whole company of GIS data regarding designs under construction. B.- Network energization status (and other details) monitored during the construction phases of a design. C.- Minimizing the number of active versions in the SDE state tree. The first two benefits improve overall company-wide business, by having early and timely knowledge of the projects being constructed in the field, overlaid on the current distribution network. While minimizing the versions dramatically improves the GDB performance and efficiency.
Rule-Driven, Fully-Configurable Asset Tracking with GISSSP Innovations
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.
CoServ has been preparing for the future by adding several connections to their OMS. These connections have evolved over the years and now include: SCADA-initiated device status, outage creation and status through IVR, and web-based outage tools for reporting and status. This session will cover the evolution and future plans for utlizing the information from OMS and the business value the existing tools have made for CoServ and their customers.
State Zero: Middle Tennessee Electric Membership CorporationSSP Innovations

Connexus Energy standardized on Clevest’s Mobile Workforce applications and Schneider Electric’s Responder product for Outage Management, partnering with SSP Innovations and Clevest to build the bridge between the two products. SSP and Clevest integrated their systems using a Multispeak interface for outage data. Attend this session to learn more about how the two vendors collaborated with Connexus on the integration process, and the results achieved.
Opening the Outage Door: Integrating OMS into CISSSP Innovations
Tri-County Electric Co-Op breaks the OMS data barrier by integrating their existing ATS OpenOne CIS system with Schneider Electric’s Responder OMS. CSR’s now have the ability to: retrieve past outage information for the customer account; input new outage calls on behalf of the customer; and retrieve real-time outage information for existing outages. Customers are now able to enter outages from web and mobile technologies. SSP Innovations bridged the gap with a Multispeak-based web service.
From Field to Office: Streamlining the Management of Streetlight & Cover-ups ...SSP Innovations
This presentation describes the recent implementation of a Web-based Streetlight & Cover-ups Work Order Management System for Norwich Public Utilities (NPU). NPU required a more streamlined approach for managing the process for incoming public calls regarding damaged, inoperable streetlights in need of attention or repair. Location aware work orders hosted in the utilities’ GIS originate from citizens, public safety and other members of the community are efficiently routed from dispatch to utility crews. Mapped-based Work Orders optimize the execution of crew assignment and repair work.
Transformer Management. Full Lifecycle Support Using GIS and a Web Applicat...SSP Innovations
NPU underwent an effort to migrate their Transformer Management system from an Access database to a web application from SSP Innovations. All transformer data was migrated to the web application, which provided better access and control over the data. Customizations were then implemented to integrate the web application into NPU’s versioned GIS. This approach to transformer management reduced data redundancy and prevented data inaccuracy.
Provisioning Bandwidth & Logical Circuits Using Telecom-Based GIS.SSP Innovations
Those that have implemented Fiber Manager understand that the product focuses on managing the physical infrastructure of your telecom network including fiber optic, microwave, copper, and various other communication mediums. However, many customers have long been interested in managing the logical network in addition to the physical infrastructure. And this means managing bandwidth allocation to the various users, systems, services, or customers whose traffic traverses your physical facilities. Join us for this session as we explore how Tri-State G&T is working to customize Fiber Manager to include the provisioning of their logical circuits from an OC-192 all the way down to a DS0 with everything in between. The future of Fiber Manager may be closer than you think!

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Future of GIS
The GIS has been a mission critical system within utilities for many years supporting planning, analysis, design, and outage workflows. But the technological landscape of GIS continues to change at a rapid pace... While this presents a challenge to keep up, the utilities at the forefront of the technology are realizing significant ROI by expanding their usage of geographic data in new and exciting ways. This session will review the foundational components of a GIS that every utility should have in place along with the best patterns for embracing the change as GIS evolves from an application to a true enterprise platform. Our joint goal is to support the entire utility by making map-based apps available anywhere, on any device, to every department. The future of GIS is now, don't be left in the past!
WHO SSP IS:
Just briefly a bit about who we are - SSP is focused on the electric, gas, water and fiber markets for core product implementation, customization, and systems integration. Chalk it to mostly GIS SERVICES work. We also partner heavily with Schneider Electric (previously known as Telvent) who provides a large set of utility specific products. Our main challenge with ArcGIS online was how to educate our customer base on this new platform because it really does present a fundamental shift in how utilities have traditionally used GIS.
HCA = High Consequence Area
ArcGIS as a Platform—What Is It?
ArcGIS Online is an entirely new part of ArcGIS and extends ArcGIS into a platform, providing both online mapping/geographic analysis, as well as enterprise portal and geospatial content management. It complements and extends on-premises ArcGIS resources by providing cloud computing, as well as rich content and services.
ArcGIS as a platform provides open geospatial capabilities to any user and allows access by any application on any device anywhere, anytime. A new concept of dynamic web maps is a central aspect of this platform and facilitates the organization, sharing, and use of geospatial content, maps, and data within groups and across divisions of an organization, as well as between organizations and the public.
ArcGIS also includes a large library of applications and templates that are used to access and apply this content in multiple settings, including mobile, tablet, and desktop environments.
Some of the fundamental features of the new ArcGIS platform are the following:

ArcGIS is accessible anywhere, and it works seamlessly across any device. The system is designed to work the way you work whether that’s at a desktop computer, with a smart phone or tablet, within a web browser, or even integrated into some of the most widely used business systems.
As many of you may know, you can utilize ArcGIS from within powerful desktop applications built for technicians or GIS professionals, but you can also use ArcGIS from within familiar business system such as Microsoft Excel and Powerpoint, or through focused applications such as an operational dashboard, you can even use ArcGIS within AutoCAD.
ArcGIS is accessible within web applications, running on any device with a web browser. You can embed ArcGIS maps and applications directly into existing webpages, and even integrate it with social media.
There are native applications for all of the modern smartphones and tablets such as iPhones/iPads, Android Tablets & Windows Phones as well applications for high accuracy GPS devices.
ArcGIS is powered by spatial information in the form of something we call services. With the ArcGIS Platform you can very easily make your authoritative content available across the platform. You have the option to share your spatial information from within your own computing environment using our server software or you can reduce your administrative overhead by having us manage the computing environment and choosing to share your data in ArcGIS Online.
Many Esri users take a hybrid approach, where some of their content is managed in their own computer infrastructure and some is accessed from online sources.
The ArcGIS platform takes advantage of the latest advancements in cloud computing, like being scalable based on demand and it gives you a variety of implementation options depending on your specific requirements.
Maintaining information within a GIS is only valuable if those who need the information have access to it.
ArcGIS provides a simple, easy to use system for organizing spatial content, maps, and applications for your organization. Whether you choose to use ArcGIS Online which is managed by Esri in the cloud or you use the Portal Extension for ArcGIS Server which is managed by users in their own computing environment you’re able to quickly provide access to maps and applications within groups that you define in the system.
With ArcGIS content and applications can be organized and shared in the same way your organizations are structured, whether that’s: department by department, division by division, or workgroup by workgroup.
To make mapping and spatial information available to the entire organization, we’re bringing ArcGIS into systems which the entire organization works with.
How many of you use Microsoft Office?
With a few clicks of a button Microsoft Office users can have integrated interactive mapping, spatial analysis, and reporting from ArcGIS added directly into their Excel spreadsheets and their PowerPoint presentations.
In addition integrated mapping and analysis from ArcGIS is available within many other commonly used business systems, if you’d like to know more about these solutions please just ask us at a break.

CHANGING THE CONVERSATION:
Question #1: How can we expose new data within our customer's organizations while leveraging their existing investment in GIS?
Include what you already know about how they use GIS and Server - this will allow you to expose GIS data to new areas of the organization. And then think about all of the other departments that have some data that could be enhanced significantly by taking it into a geospatial context - we're talking business databases, spreadsheets & reports from all over the organization. Anything with an address or any way to tie to a feature we already have in GIS (think customer number, asset id, etc). ArcGIS Online provides the platform to make this data available to users who have never used GIS before.
WESTAR USE CASE
This is one recent use case we came across. At the core we were able to expose a utility’s ArcFM GIS data to new devices like the iPad, Android, phones, etc using ArcGIS Online. That was a huge step that then enabled us to look at the larger organization. In this example we were able to take real estate data that had been maintained in spreadsheets for years and load it directly into ArcGIS Online. This data contains ownership information for parcels where transmission lines need to be inspected including how to access the facilities. This data was not only displayed but could be edited within ArcGIS Online enabling a whole new department to utilize GIS for the first time.
CHANGING THE CONVERSATION:
Question #2: How can we collect, utilize and empower the collection of NEW data points throughout the organization or even from the end customers?
ArcGIS Online provides the mechanism to get that data into our existing back office systems very easily. But its up to US to figure out how that data can be put to good use. Can we integrate it into other existing geodatabases through geoprocessing, can we leverage that data as an integration point with other systems in the organization, can we utilize it to empower an existing workflow? The answer to these questions lie with you, the partners, because you know your respective industries better than anyone else. And these answers will drive services.
STREETLIGHT USE CASE
Another quick use case starts with us exposing a public web map via ArcGIS Online. This webmap will allow our end customers to view and interact with our utility data. A customer is jogging at dusk and notices a streetlight is out. This web map allows them to GPS the location and capture the streetlight outage very easily. They can even include a photo of the location. This data is transmitted instantaneously to the back office. But how can we empower this data?
STREETLIGHT USE CASE
We can easily generate an email back to the customer acknowledging the outage – HUGE from the customer perspective. And why not also automatically generate a new service request for the outage within our work management system that can then dispatch a crew to fix the issue. This simple, but integrated, workflow will save the utility money while increasing customer satisfaction. And in the end this results in real business for partners to design, develop, and deploy these solutions.
