Designed to fit your business

The new connections industry is complicated. Traditional utilities compete with a growing independent sector and a new breed of commercial businesses affiliated to other traditional utilities. Each organisation is tasked with managing a mixture of legacy and emerging systems to maximum effect.

With new connection work growing in complexity, the advantages of having a single intuitive interface accessible by a range of key staff cannot be over-emphasised. But we recognise that no two businesses are the same. That’s why NetworkAdvantage has been developed as a modular combination of software and data services, backed by ESRI (UK)’s extensive integration expertise that is designed to dovetail with your existing systems and workflows.

Each solution includes the following proven components:

1. Geographic Information System (GIS) software from ESRI – the world's leading GIS in use within over 4,600 utilities businesses globally and the market leader in the UK. ESRI’s ArcGIS software is the standard within the UK utilities industry, with customers from all sectors including ScottishPower, Severn Trent Water and National Grid Gas.
2. Data services – the NetworkAdvantage solution allows you to integrate key geographic datasets, providing the latest background mapping data to support your designs. This allows you to create intelligent, spatially driven responses that provide a higher quality design to meet the developer’s brief.
3.
