Using the leading European Utility Application software ArcFM UT, a case studies on its use in the Slovak Republic will be presented. VSE is a 49% subsidiary of German RWE and serves 605 000 electricity service points. After rapid introduction of ArcFM UT, it has integrated the GIS very tightly with important other IT systems in their company, like SCADA, SAP PM, IS-U, FI-AA, IBM MAXIMO (Work force management) and network calculation. Thus the GIS is the primary system for asset data input and maintenance and solved the problems of (a) multiple data entry points, (b) data errors and improved greatly the internal workflows and processes as well as the company efficiency. The project shows in a unique way how well the GIS can be integrated with the other IT systems in place at world-wide utilities.
