Abstract
Delivering GIS: Lessons Learned from the Georgia Power Implementation Project Track: GIS Organization, Management, and Implementation Author(s): Mary Adams, Aaron Patterson In 2005, Georgia Power Company (GPC) embarked on a project to replace their legacy AutoCad system with a state-of-the-art Esri GIS Platform. This includes a full deployment of Esri technology utilizing Miner & Miner ArcFM and Designer products, and numerous interfaces to support existing operational systems in place at GPC, such as SPL's Centricity Outage Management System and Cyme's CYMDist Engineering Analysis software. This paper describes the steps taken prior to the project to assist in ensuring a successful project, and the implementation itself. It covers the major successes of the project and the hurdles that were overcome. In conclusion, a list of "lessons learned" will be provided to assist other organizations who are about to embark on similar projects.
