Geospatial Information Systems for Energy and Utilities Reviews and Ratings

Geospatial technology refers to a set of technologies used to acquire, manipulate and store geographic information. The geospatial information system (GIS) software market in energy and utilities is defined by buyers looking for software and applications to manage and optimize geotagged data for spatial analysis, hydrologic and water quality analysis, network models, pipeline and field planning, design, construction, and operations. GIS can support real-time design and modeling; visualize electrical, gas, and/or water and pipeline network topology; model geological and surface feature relationships; and depict the relationship between assets and the environment including network/grid, facilities, land, vehicles, equipment, employees, customers and surrounding elements.
