Authors: Bart Reynaert

Pidpa is a Belgian water utility, offering drinkingwater and wastewater services to 65 communities in the Antwerp province. Over the past few years, Pidpa has implemented and extended an ArcGIS based solution, to maintain geographic information on drinking water and wastewater networks. With an important focus on integrating GIS and 'location awareness' in several workprocesses for technical as well as customer departments. The most extensive integration is towards several SAP modules, which now provides easy and more efficient access to administrative data via GIS-views for a lot of users. Relevant GIS and SAP dataflows are linked where possible, to ensure data consistency throughout both enterprise applications.
