When it comes to managing your GIS systems, control is everything. Esri ArcGIS Enterprise gives you full command over your GIS infrastructure, and now with Fulcrum’s integration, that control extends seamlessly to your field data collection. Whether it’s GIS, IT, or field operations, Fulcrum ensures that your data stays secure and fully within your grasp—just the way you need it.
Organizations that manage GIS systems know the challenges of maintaining control, security, and operational efficiency. With Fulcrum’s integration with Esri ArcGIS Enterprise, those organizations now have access to a streamlined, field-first data collection solution that works seamlessly with their existing infrastructure. For industries like utilities and government agencies, this means enhanced field operations without the headaches of manual data handling or complex synchronization.
According to the Uptime Institute’s 2023 Global Data Center Survey, 65% of respondents are not hosting mission-critical applications in the public cloud, with 64% citing security concerns as the main reason. This concern resonates with industries like utilities and government agencies that need to safeguard sensitive data while maintaining operational control. Fulcrum’s integration with ArcGIS Enterprise directly addresses these needs by keeping field data securely within your infrastructure, ensuring that you can maintain efficiency without sacrificing data protection.
Field data collection meets full GIS control
For many industries, the need to manage GIS infrastructure in-house is driven by strict compliance, security protocols, or data sensitivity. Teams dealing with critical infrastructure, public services, or regulatory environments must often maintain on-premises or cloud systems. These organizations can’t afford gaps in their data management workflows, and Fulcrum’s integration steps in to fill those gaps. With this new feature, field teams can collect, organize, and synchronize data directly into ArcGIS Enterprise systems without adding layers of complexity.
This is particularly relevant for industries like utilities, where real-time data collection is critical. Field teams might be responsible for tracking miles of utility lines, mapping service areas, or inspecting infrastructure across vast regions. Fulcrum enables these teams to collect accurate data in the field and ensures it integrates directly into their GIS systems, allowing for immediate use in planning, reporting, and decision-making.
Streamlining operations in hybrid environments
Not every organization works entirely on premises. Many are adopting hybrid models, combining on-site infrastructure with private cloud systems to strike the right balance between security and flexibility. Fulcrum’s integration with ArcGIS Enterprise doesn’t limit how you manage your infrastructure. Whether you operate entirely on-prem or split your resources between in-house servers and the cloud, this integration is built to work with your specific setup.
For field teams, this means there are no additional hurdles when transitioning data back into the central GIS system. When conducting environmental surveys, inspecting infrastructure, or monitoring natural resources, the data they collect in real-time flows seamlessly into the enterprise system—no manual uploads, no delayed processing. The process is designed to keep your operations moving, no matter how complex your IT environment is.
How this benefits your team in the field
For field teams, ease of use and reliability are key. They need tools that allow them to collect data without unnecessary friction. Fulcrum’s mobile-first platform delivers just that. The integration with ArcGIS Enterprise ensures that the data collected in the field is instantly available for analysis, reporting, or regulatory compliance once it’s synced back to the central system.
For teams in demanding environments, having reliable tools is essential. Imagine a power outage affecting thousands of homes over a wide area. Field teams assess damage, identify fault lines, and coordinate repairs—all while under intense pressure. With Fulcrum’s integration into your self-managed infrastructure, field inspection data syncs immediately with your internal ArcGIS system. This results in faster response times, more accurate outage maps, and real-time updates for office teams coordinating recovery. If you’re dispatching crews, generating compliance reports, or informing stakeholders, real-time data collection and syncing are crucial. With data stored securely in your managed system, you retain control over sensitive information during critical moments.
Adapting to your organization’s specific needs
The beauty of this integration lies in its adaptability. No two organizations are alike, and Fulcrum’s platform has the flexibility to work within your current operational model. Whether you’re a government agency with strict data governance policies or a private utility company balancing on-prem and cloud environments, Fulcrum’s tools fit seamlessly into your workflow.
For industries handling high volumes of field data, this integration saves time and reduces the risk of data loss. Tasks such as infrastructure inspections and environmental monitoring are now handled more efficiently. Fewer manual processes mean fewer opportunities for errors to occur.
Looking ahead: maximizing your GIS infrastructure
Fulcrum’s integration with ArcGIS Enterprise improves your ability to streamline field data collection efficiently. With real-time synchronization between field teams and secure self-managed systems, you can respond faster and more effectively. This allows you to make confident, data-driven decisions while maintaining full control over your critical infrastructure. When managing emergency response, environmental monitoring, or infrastructure projects, this integration ensures your teams have the tools and data they need when they need them most.
For organizations that prioritize security and operational efficiency, this solution meets the highest standards. Fulcrum gives you the flexibility to maintain the infrastructure that works for you while enhancing your team’s ability to collect and act on valuable data in real time.
