Utilities have a data problem. Is GIS the solution?
I served as the host of Energy Central’s limited podcast series ‘TheGISt,’ all about the world of Geographic Information Systems and their use in the power sector.
Here’s episode 7:
“What do two GIS experts say when you ask them about the importance of data management for utilities?
“You can’t manage what you can’t see.”
“If the data is wrong, bad things happen.”
“Without data, you have no control.”
This week on The GISt, we’re diving deep into GIS as a tool to address latency, remove siloes, and help utilities do less on-prem…so they can do more overall.
The root of all this innovation? GIS technology. It’s what pulls disparate data together so power teams can make better decisions, bridge more gaps, and find—as this week’s experts put it—their “aha moment.”
In the first of three top-notch episodes of The GISt with our partners at Esri, we’re joined by Director of Electric Utility Solutions Bill Meehan & Director of Electric Industry Solutions Pat Hohl.”
