AbstractAn Approach to Integrating ArcGIS Energy with ABB CADOPS Track: Electric and Gas Author(s): Richard P. Inman Although industry leaders Esri and ABB have had a presence in Energy Utilities for a significant number of years, efforts to integrate Esri's ArcInfo and ABB's CADOPS to leverage the benefits of the two systems has been sporadic. The release of Esri's leading edge ArcGIS now enables employment of industry-standard IT approaches and tools to interface these systems, creating an environment to move GIS-based network data into the CADOPS analysis world. This paper explores the approach to this endeavor, including gap analysis, use-case modeling, software architecture, user interface design, and work/data flow, all done in a collaborative development environment. GeoIT will also present deployment scenarios and future directions of development. Richard P.
