LogicaCMG Helps Dutch Energy Company Reduce the Cost of Managing its Assets with GIS

LogicaCMG announced that it has won a contract for the delivery and
implementation of a new Geospatial Information System (GIS) with the
Dutch multi-utility company DELTA, located in the south western
Province of Zeeland. The project has now started and is scheduled for
completion in spring 2007.

LogicaCMG announced that it has won a contract for the delivery
and implementation of a new Geospatial Information System (GIS) with
the Dutch multi-utility company DELTA, located in the south western
Province of Zeeland. The project has now started and is scheduled for
completion in spring 2007.
The new GIS will enable DELTA to optimise
the quality and lifecycle of their infrastructure and to manage their
assets at lower cost. It is vitally important for DELTA to have a GIS
which, apart from managing and providing information on the
infrastructure, is able to rapidly exchange data with other systems.
GIS helps companies such as DELTA to rapidly identify affected areas of
infrastructure during excavation work, utility breakdowns and other
maintenance projects. This allows DELTA to take the necessary measures
without delay.
Many other utilities, in the Netherlands
and elsewhere, are discovering the advantages of modern Geospatial
Information Systems for managing their infrastructure and are planning
to replace their present systems. The DELTA project is therefore of
great strategic importance for ESRI Nederland, ESRI Inc., and
LogicaCMG.
The solution for DELTA is based on the
ArcFM UT product manufactured by ESRI Inc. partner AED-SICAD based in
Munich, Germany. This is the most advanced utility GIS solution on the
market. The major advantage offered by ArcFM UT is that, in contrast to
traditional GIS solutions, it can be implemented without much
customer-specific software development. ESRI Nederland has specialist
knowledge of the multi-utility sector in combination with the most
extensive GIS platform in the world, ArcGIS. LogicaCMG has considerable
experience of implementing major projects involving GIS applications
from a variety of leading vendors for its energy, utility, public
sector and defence customers around the world.
On Geospatial Information Systems

Geo-information concerns the full range of information on objects with
a fixed place on, in, above or beneath the earth‘s surface.
Organisations using this type of information are among others
government, defence, transport and the multi-utility sector.
Ever more organisations are making use of
location-related information. Demand for the effective and efficient
processing, management, collation and analysis of such geospatial
information is growing. The possibilities for doing so have improved
greatly in recent years with the development of Geospatial Information
Systems specifically developed for the manipulation, analysis and
presentation of place-related information.
About DELTA
DELTA
is the result of a merger between the South West-Netherlands Water
Company (WMZ) and the Provincial Zeeland Energy Company (PZEM) in 1991.
Before the merger these two companies had already been operating in
Zeeland for generations. When the two companies joined DELTA started
pooling the tasks in the public utility field. In recent years DELTA
has expanded its services with the provision of Internet cable
facilities and waste processing activities.

About ESRI Nederland
Geographic information plays an important
role in analysing changes in our world. In order to understand the
changes it is vital for proper links to be established, for the
available data to be collated and for knowledge to be shared. This is
best done with the aid of a Geographic Information System (GIS). The
standard ArcGIS products of ESRI Inc. are the most complete, most
widely used and most accessible products worldwide. More information is
available on http://www.esrinl.com or on http://www.esri.com
