This paper will discuss industry trends and implementation challenges faced by electric and gas utility companies in providing GIS data to a wide variety of office users and mobile field-workers. The impact of both the Intranet and new field systems such as enabling technologies will be addressed. An implementation framework for providing GIS data access to remote users across the enterprise will be presented. References to specific Esri software programs will be included in the implementation approach.
