  3. Context – GIS Evolution @ EGD Further exploit GIS capabilities to achieve company objectives 2013 2012 2011 GIS as Platform GPS & Department Specific GIS Apps GIS as Platform 2010 SmallWorld is replaced 2009 Enterprise GIS GIS Replacement Program start Enterprise GIS 2006 1998 O&E Roadmap GIS is a priority Core GIS Integration with Asset Repository Core GIS Mylar Plates to Smallworld

  4. Records GIS Approach at EGD Integrity Management Engineering Design • Leverage EGIS as a platform • Identify new business units/groups and their common tasks that can benefit from a map-based application • Create lightweight, focused maps and apps to support business processes Damage Prevention Network Planning & Design EGIS Construction Operations • Rapid deployment • Conduct POC/ Pilot to establish business benefits • Shorter implementation durations: 10-15 weeks turnaround time for new applications Sales & Business Development Customer Connections WMC M&R

  5. GIS – How it is being used today Where is this corrosion area that needs to be inspected? Where is this locate being requested? Where is this emergency located? Where is this pressure alarm being triggered from? Operations Survey Damage Prevention WMC Where are the integrity mains that should be pigged this year? Where is this new pipe’s proposed location? What areas do we focus this campaign on? M &R Where are non-customers on mains? Construction Integrity Management Marketing Where are my leads and opportunities? Where is this leaking pipe that’s been detected? Could we get gas to this customer? Business Development Customer Connections Sales Enquiry Operations
