Authors: Wayne Atkinson, Shrikant Mate, Brandon Clark

This paper will detail Alabama Power Company�s (APCO) efforts to ensure the spatial integrity of their entire GIS Distribution Network while circumventing the need for a field inventory. We will also highlight how APCO was able to build on the spatial accuracy of their GIS Network model, graphically integrating their entire Customer Database and creating a real-time connection between IDMS that allows for predictive analysis, disaster preparedness, and gains operational efficiency.
