One intuitive interface

New connections work is becoming increasingly complicated.  Customers are demanding multi-utility services and organisations are looking to respond with one-stop-shop solutions.  This adds complexity at a time when credible organisations like Energy and Utility Skills acknowledge a growing demand for professionals responsible for infrastructure design and construction.

Through NetworkAdvantage from ESRI (UK), organisations have the potential to develop a single intuitive interface accessible to a range of key staff throughout the organisation.  Intelligent links to other key systems allow changes to be made through this interface without the need for major additional work.  This allows an organisation to be more responsive in a dynamic environment.

How you benefit:

• Greater co-ordination – key business processes are driven from the same information, removing the opportunity for error and ensuring a single, up to date version of the design is shared
• Faster returns – working within existing workflows retains familiarity and negates the need for new procedures. Its intuitive nature reduces initial training requirements, speeding up the internal adoption process
• Greater accessibility – with designs geo-referenced and stored on the server, the whole organisation can share and access the same plans. This enables housebuilders to gain updates at customer service level, without having to go via the design department – speeding up responses and freeing expensive design resources from taking routine calls.
• Reduced IT overhead –a common platform with a shared database means less maintenance, software and data updates, freeing IT resource for other core tasks

NetworkAdvantage - Joining up the design and build process

Currently many companies use a cumbersome multi-faceted approach to design and build, with projects managed through a series of duplicated and disparate processes involving a mix of paper based design,  CAD applications, network-modelling tools, accounting packages and works management systems. This results in wasted time, data redundancy and greater opportunity for error.
