Utilities and Communications

GI technology supports business processes and operations in utilities and communications sector in a myriad of ways. The technology comes into its own in functions such as the management of assets, organising customer information, network modelling, network planning, work order processing, and performance reporting amongst others. This is because many intrinsic features of a utility and communications operation are extremely well suited for the application of GI concepts and techniques.
