Abstract
Deregulation and increased competition have forced utilities and telcos to improve quality of service, deploy new services faster, be more responsive to customers, while at the same time reducing costs. In this presentation we will present an overview of spatially-enabled relational database management (RDBMS) technology from the perspective of the utility and telco industries. We will discuss utility business processes focusing on engineering design and the implications of a centrally managed spatial datastore. We will present a real world example and report on the business benefits that ENMAX Power Corp has realized since implementing a centralized spatial database. We will discuss how ENMAX Power Corporation has approached and leveraged their GIS investment through the use of a spatially-enabled RDBMS, how this has provided the basis for improvements and changes in business processes, and enabled the integration of other systems including engineering analysis, outage management, computer aided dispatch, asset management, drafting design and work order management.
