Analytics: Business Needs
Bi‐Weekly• Equipment with more than one FeederID• De‐energized• Missing data• Invalid geometry checks • Un‐Split line check for fuses, open points and switches• Conflicts in database
Monthly• Inspections• Vegetation management
Quarterly• Asset tax reporting• Transformers count by feeder and ward
GIS:BeyondMaps
• Yearly • Circuit mileage• Pole mileage
• Ad‐hoc • Device Counts by Feeder, System, Grid

Analytics: Business Need Categories
Asset Reporting Inspection Trends Installation Trends Aging Trends Reliability Trends Customer Trends
Data Diagnostics What is updated in the last week, month, quarter, year? Is the data quality getting better? What are the unposted changes?

Analytics: Current Approach
ArcGIS Desktop Schneider Reporting Tool Data Reviewer
ArcGIS Scripts VBA macros
Custom Web Applications Compass (.ASP)
ArcGIS Portal Widgets Design Dashboard (Java Stack) Data Quality Dashboard (Java Stack)
Evolution:-Multiple Tools-Customizations-Disintegrated-Manual Trending
An Analyst or End User has to spend time each time
10
Expectations: GIS/IT Strategy
Continue to improve user satisfaction
Implement generic tooling to address most (not all) requirements Provide automated trending Scalable and flexible Easy to deploy
No programming No modeling
Leverage existing software Leverage existing hardware
Mandate:Reduce Customizations
