Access Case Study

The Muscat Electricity Distribution Company (MEDC) delivers power to the Governorate of Muscat, the capital of Oman. When Oman wanted better efficiency, transparency, and security of supply it turned to GIS. Since MEDC's founding, it has embraced significant innovation and the use of GIS.

•    Enable effective strategic decision-making for assets and stakeholders.
