VertiGIS expands its offerings in the United States and Canada into the utilities sector with purpose-built solutions that empower water, gas and electric utility network operators who need to visualize, edit and integrate their network data using modern web applications.
What does VertiGIS bring to the market?
Esri, the global geographic information system (GIS) software firm, launched the ArcGIS Utility Network in 2018. VertiGIS Networks is a state-of-the-art product line — built from the ground up — that allows utilities to visualize, trace, analyze, and edit their ArcGIS Utility Network data in both web browsers and native apps with online and offline workflows.
Besides providing a state-of-the-art user experience, VertiGIS Networks can automate the exchange and synchronization of utilities’ data between GIS and SAP or other enterprise systems. Additionally, this means that utilities avoid duplicate data entry in their systems while ensuring high quality and integrity in their respective databases. SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified the solution for integration into SAP S/4HANA.
What does the expansion mean for VertiGIS?
“ArcGIS Utility Network is a proven foundation for utilities to store and manage their network data. The solutions by VertiGIS Networks deliver that foundation to end users through modern and performant web apps that makes working with complex data easy,” said Jeff Rashid, Director of Global Business Development – Utilities and Telecommunications at Esri.
“We’re excited to see that VertiGIS is also offering their solutions in the cloud – it enables a rapid delivery model so that small and mid-tier utilities reduce the time to value, and so that their users can take advantage of the power provided by the Utility Network immediately.”
Drew Millen, CTO for VertiGIS said, “We’re laser focused on ensuring that VertiGIS Networks enables end-users to seamlessly access accurate, high-fidelity data for their workflows. We’ve addressed this need with elegant UX design and our web- and mobile-first strategies, as well as with the right back-office integrations to ensure data is accurate and current.”
