Utility Network Migration Services

Our Utility Network Migration services are designed to facilitate a seamless and efficient transition to the ArcGIS Utility Network, essential for integrating legacy data systems accurately. 

We place a high emphasis on data quality, leveraging our refined methodologies and specialized tools to streamline the migration process.

Comprehensive Data Readiness Assessment

Our initial step involves a thorough evaluation of your network’s existing data to detect and address quality issues. This ensures the clean, reliable data necessary for the ArcGIS Utility Network’s peak performance.

Precise Data Correction

Utilizing a rules-based strategy, we offer flexible data correction methods. This may include repeated cleaning cycles to maintain data integrity, complete with comprehensive documentation of any alterations.

Detailed Design Requirements Analysis

Understanding the importance of a Utility Network model that not only meets present needs but is also scalable for future demands, we meticulously gather and scrutinize design requirements. This process may involve custom solutions tailored to fit your existing data frameworks and system integration needs.

Target Model Design and Migration Execution

The cornerstone of our service is developing an appropriate target model, drawing upon Esri’s foundational models and introducing necessary customizations to cater to your unique specifications. Migration is then executed towards an Asset Package—a preparatory database—enabling a flexible migration pathway.

Rigorous Asset Package Validation

Before finalizing the migration, we conduct several validation rounds to refine the data and model, ensuring accuracy and a smooth transition process.

Seamless Go-Live Process

Armed with confidence in the data integrity and model accuracy, your transition to the ArcGIS Utility Network is set to proceed, minimizing disruptions and enhancing operational efficiency.

Customization to Fit Your Unique Requirements

Recognizing the diverse needs of our clients, we offer personalized migration strategies that reflect your organization’s specific goals and challenges.
