“We’ve been on this real push to try to leverage our GIS system in order to create a single source of truth and have all of our data linked via the GIS system …We can link all of our data - customer data, tree data, where our hydrants are, where our poles are, what type of insulator is on a pole - through our GIS system (ESRI).”
