GIS technology can provide significant leverage for a utility when properly implemented. ASI has successfully implemented GIS solutions for electric, gas, water and telecom utilities ranging in size from a few thousand to several million customers. Our turnkey approach to GIS begins with a business-focused system design. This involves understanding the business drivers for your organization and then selecting the right GIS application(s) to achieve your desired outcomes.

The business applications need to be deployed on an infrastructure that will effectively support your unique user community, which in today’s environment includes a mix of office-based and remote users. Matching your user-community needs with the right-sized hardware and communications protocol is critical to a project's success. The design must include a realistic view of the data requirements, and a pragmatic estimate of the lifecycle costs of maintaining the data.

ASI will build, test and deploy your GIS solution in a manner that compliments your organization’s staffing strategy. For companies seeking to develop their own internal staff to provide long-term maintenance and support, ASI will work with your team to affect the necessary level of knowledge transfer to your team. For organizations seeking an experienced GIS service provider, ASI will work with your project sponsors to develop long-term service level contracts to provide application and data maintenance support of your GIS solution.
