ESRI® was the first GIS software company to build a true component-based GIS architecture. The product architecture for the enterprise GIS closely follows the principles of the Open GIS specifications in development by the Open GIS Consortium (OGC). They have built the next generation of GIS software using a very fine level of granularity and thus making it:
One single component-based architecture, where components can be leveraged.
A solution that is configurable for different organizations, for different needs.
A scalable solution:Big enterprise-wide utilities can benefit, but also smaller companies.
This means smaller, faster and more flexible products.
Standardization leads to a maximum of well-manageable software products and it minimizes the specific parts for a utility:
The foundation of a suitable solution for your organization is a solid IT-infrastructure with standard components and with a strong relational database management system, e.g. Oracle. The industry standard GIS is provided by the market leaders.
ESRI with OEM utility tools from Miner & Miner .
On top of the ESRI GIS-technology, ArcFM™ UT, the AED-SICAD solution for utilities that can be easily configured to interface to many external systems.
ArcFM™ UT also covers all relevant data models and it handles the country-specific aspects (such as localization, symbology, or specific rules of electric and gas networks).
Finally, your organization's specific implementation requirements. In order to reduce your costs we have invested in our technology to keep this part as minimal as possible .
