EWEB Selects ArcFM Viewer™ for Mobile Solution
Oregon’s largest customer-owned utility chooses Miner & Miner’s ArcEngine-based viewing application for in-the-field access to facility data
Fort Collins, CO -- Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB), the largest customer-owned utility in Oregon, has announced its selection of ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS® Engine to complement its ArcFM Solution™ implementation. EWEB provides electricity, water, and steam to more than 83,000 customers in the city of Eugene.
This summer, EWEB began implementing ArcFM™, a facilities management application, and Responder, a GIS-based outage management system. This project brings together three disparate legacy applications into an enterprise system using the latest technology from ESRI and Miner & Miner. As the project evolved, EWEB recognized the necessity and benefits of having current facility information available in the GIS for both mobile and desktop users who do not require editing capabilities. ArcFM Viewer will provide a powerful yet economical small footprint mobile viewing option that will supply the necessary functionality for tracing, querying, and analyzing facility data. EWEB’s complete enterprise solution is scheduled to be in production by the end of 2005.
Kevin Biersdorff, GeoGraphics Supervisor for EWEB, said, “We believe ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine will provide a natural and painless way to bring facility data directly to those in the office and in the field making day-to-day business decisions. For many users, this tool will be all the GIS they’ll ever need to solve problems and streamline their work.”
