Simple Scales and Complex Fails”.  It is a phrase that many working in the Utility Industry are very familiar with. But is it always correct? As Utilities continue to strive to achieve their Digital Transformation objectives, they are being met with significant disruption. In the quest to deliver solutions quickly, some have deployed light weight custom applications.  Applications that have custom point-to-point integrations. While these were simple solutions at the time. It is often these legacy bespoke software and integrations that are anchoring a Utilities ability to be agile and move forward at speed. It is also these custom solutions that are increasing total cost of ownership, preventing system upgrades, and resulting in additional cost for future projects.  These types of simple solutions are failing.

As utilities continue to embark on their digital transformation journeys, they are looking for innovative ways to leverage their technology investments to align with their digital strategies. We are now working in unprecedented times when simplicity and speed are more important than ever. This is why world leading software companies like Esri and SAP are partnering to deliver Enterprise platforms that modernize your information, architecture and deliver COTS solutions at scale. Esri and SAP applications work native together and are based on a configure first approach.  These applications are designed with the end user in mind and transcend organizational departments. By breaking down silos between geographic information systems (GIS) and IT Utilities are transforming their business.  These Solutions are simple to deploy and are based on Service Oriented Architectures. Because they are built on a spatial platform, they can be deployed to whoever needs it, when they need it, and at scale.

Customers who combine spatial and corporate enterprise systems have a clear competitive advantage and differentiation. They achieve better insights, make better decisions and are more innovative; ultimately pushing spatial decision making into their business processes. The result is enterprise scale location intelligence. This is a critical component in a customer’s journey to becoming an Intelligent Enterprise. Esri and SAP working together brings the Science of Where to the Intelligent Enterprise. Mapping and location analytics from Esri spatially enable SAP business data, allowing organizations to be smarter. Your organization’s data is no longer limited to spreadsheets gathered from disparate databases. Now you can visualize and analyze data in new ways and transform it into actionable information.

ArcGIS puts collaboration and flexibility at the center of an organization's GIS. It pairs industry-leading mapping and analytics capabilities with a dedicated Web GIS infrastructure to organize and share work on any device, anywhere, at any time.

Enable comprehensive location analytics and data visualization for the enterprise.
