Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

If you’re managing technical and environmental data on your Electric, Gas, or Renewable Energy projects, submitting FERC or Public Service Commission filings, or monitoring schedule and deadlines, your business needs to be faster and more agile than ever.  You must make good decisions based on accurate, timely data.  You require more efficient use of staff time to achieve more with fewer people.   

The answer: GIS. GIS technology provides tools and methods to solve answers such as, “Where are my utilities positioned? Where are they in relationship to other features?” This helps with:

• FERC and PSC Licensing and Annual Filings
• Expedited NEPA Reviews
• Budget and Finance Analysis
• Strategic Planning
• Multi-User Project Reviews
