A geographic information system (GIS) is critical to any utility’s business. A successful GIS will store and map a vast amount of information about the utility's electric and water systems, as well as outside plants.
For maximum success, your GIS should become an integrated application at the utility. Many business processes or systems are impacted by and dependent upon a reliable GIS, including field design or staking, outage management systems (OMS), outage management prediction, line personnel maps, electric system modeling, inventory systems, asset accounting etc.
GIS can use any information that includes location. The location can be expressed in many different ways, such as latitude and longitude, address, or ZIP code.
Many different types of information can be compared and contrasted using GIS. The system can include data about people, such as population, income, or education level. It can include information about the landscape, such as the location of streams, different kinds of vegetation, and different kinds of soil. It can include information about the sites of factories, farms, and schools; or storm drains, roads, and electric power lines.
I'm sure that there is no limit to the kind of information that can be analyzed using GIS system!!!!
