Network information management system

A network information management system is built upon a network information model designed to enable different kinds of user personas across an organization to create, edit, maintain, view, and analyze network features and relationships across an as-built network. This ArcGIS powered system provides the core foundation for utilities to maintain a system of record.

Utilities have flexibility in determining their own path to adoption of a modernized network information management system, enhancement of operational efficiencies, and adoption of emerging industry requirements.

Capabilities provided by a network information management system include:

• Asset location mapping and visualization with spatial or location context
• Query by attribute, geometry, and geography
• Data management and editing through desktop, mobile, and web applications
• Integration with other business systems (SCADA, ERP and EAMs), geospatial and non-geospatial through data or service-based integration
• Network diagrams for visualization and operational insight
• Analysis of network connectivity and device status
• Flexibility in implementation profile to meet an organization’s business and technical requirements
