Utilities

Geographic information plays a key role in the asset management and the operational running of utility companies. These are both fundamental in responding to the challenges posed by the business drivers. The asset management challenge faced by providers centers on the need to monitor physical infrastructure and any required changes and replacements.

Geographic data underpins asset management, operational activity and forward planning, for companies in the utility sector leading to cost reductions, an improved customer service offering and a more confident approach to emergency planning, all of which will continue to help drive the industry and the Irish economy forward.
