Last Call for Participation - GIS For Utilities - [Energy Central Hot Topic in partnership with Esri] - No cost for participation for Community Members

The power industry is in a state of transformation. And the way utilities use and think of Geographic Information Systems, or GIS systems, is maturing along with this state of transformation. The rollout and maintenance of GIS and related applications require a new way of thinking.  

In partnership with ESRI, we are pulling together GIS stories and insights related to this transformation, and we would like to hear from you:  

Some topic ideas include:

  • What has been your organization's early experience in integrating GIS tools, both successes and pain points? 
  • What new opportunities has GIS presented in relation to how utilities deliver service to their customers?
  • How has GIS been integrated as a core part of the utility business practice rather than just a plug-and-play tool?
  • What do you see for on the horizon for GIS systems and related applications specifically for the Power Industry?
  • How is GIS technology evolving to support the industry?

We look forward to reading your insights!
