Review of Top GIS & Digital Twin Insights from This Quarter
In the past few months, I've been sharing some of the most important trends I'm seeing in the utility space related to GIS, Digital Twin, and related digital technologies for the power industry. This sector is fast-moving and it can be hard to stay on top of the latest and greatest of what's possible, so I wanted to do a quick retrospective to highlight some of the most critical articles and resources I've shared in the past quarter-- call them my Quarterly Highlights:

A Digital Twin is an advanced framework to align a utility's digital infrastructure with emerging technologies.
With Grid Infrastructure in Popular Focus, a Look Back at What I Was Saying on GIS & Distribution Circuits Last Year
Just over a year ago, I made my debut appearance on the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast where I was thrilled to share my thoughts on the future of distribution circuits (which are still the critical building blocks of the grid) and how GIS was impacting the utility industry and even making early contributions to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
