Esri retired ArcMap and the Geometric Network on 1 March 2026, leaving utilities on legacy platforms exposed to security, support and skills risks. A Utility Network is more than a GIS upgrade: it becomes the trusted, connected record of the network that outage management, asset management, planning, customer service and regulatory reporting all depend on. iSpatial Techno Solutions (IST), an Esri Gold Partner, helps electric, gas, water, wastewater and telecom utilities migrate legacy GIS, CAD and asset data, connect it to their operational and enterprise systems, and establish workflows that engineering, operations and field teams use every day.

Our Services

Our Services

  • Readiness assessment and business case:
    • Review data quality, connectivity, source systems and integrations, then define a phased, costed roadmap and business case.

  • Network model design:
    • Configure Esri foundation models (Electric, Gas & Pipeline, Water, Sewer, Stormwater, Telecom) – asset groups, rules, subnetworks, containment and associations – to reflect how the utility operates and plans.

  • Data preparation and migration:
    • Cleanse, conflate and migrate Geometric Network, ArcFM, CAD, spreadsheet and database records using repeatable FME and ArcGIS pipelines with documented quality checks and reconciliation reports.

  • Pilot and validation:
    • Prove the configured model on a representative area, resolve error inventories, and test tracing, editing, and network diagrams with the people who will use them.

  • Enterprise system integration:
    • Connect network data with SCADA, OMS/ADMS, ERP, customer and billing systems, and asset and work management platforms such as IBM Maximo and SAP.

  • Deployment, cloud and mobility:
    • Deploy ArcGIS Enterprise on-premises or in the cloud (AWS, Azure) with branch versioning, and give field crews mobile access for inspections, redlines and as-built capture.

  • Training and post-migration support:
    • Role-based training, go-live hypercare, ongoing network data maintenance and performance optimisation.
