For utilities, the field is where plans meet reality. Assets shift. Conditions change. Service depends on fast decisions and accurate data. But too often, geospatial intelligence stays trapped in the back office, locked inside systems that weren’t built for frontline use. This white paper explores why that happens, and how...

Environmental consultants don’t have time to chase files or backfill missing data. Reformatting reports the night before a client review? That’s not sustainable. You need more than data capture. You need defensible records, faster workflows, and tools that keep pace with fieldwork. Tight deadlines, rotating staff, and constant regulatory pressure...

What happens when you give environmental teams the tools to draw, measure, and track the world as it really is? You get cleaner data, clearer reporting, and better outcomes on the ground. This infographic highlights how GIS for environmental fieldwork helps teams move beyond point-based mapping. With lines and polygons,...

Managing assets without location data leaves gaps. Infrastructure, utilities, and property don’t exist in isolation. Each one is part of a network with defined routes, connections, and boundaries. Yet many asset management systems treat geospatial data as optional, leading to inefficiencies, incomplete records, and planning mistakes. A stronger approach integrates...

Every year brings new rules and shifting governmental agency priorities, leaving businesses with a choice: wait and react, or prepare proactively. The challenge isn’t just staying compliant today. It’s also maintaining operational efficiency while ensuring your team can quickly adjust to future regulatory demands. Without the right tools, last-minute changes...

Utilities spend billions on vegetation management, yet trees still cause a significant number of power outages every year. The problem isn’t awareness—it’s outdated data. GIS maps help utilities visualize risk zones, but static maps alone don’t keep up with changing conditions. Vegetation keeps growing, weather accelerates risks, and by the...

Engineering and consulting firms rely on GIS field data, but how they apply it makes all the difference. The firms that use advanced GIS tools gain a competitive edge by improving efficiency, reducing costly errors, and delivering precise, real-time insights. This white paper explains how to use GIS differentiators to...

When new regulations required engineering inspections of balconies, decks, and other elevated structures, demand surged overnight. Partner ESI needed a way to complete more inspections each day without delays, reporting bottlenecks, or disorganized field data. Relying on paper notes and scattered photos made it difficult to scale, and manually compiling...
