3-GIS, an Alabama based software development and services company, has announced that Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative (TREC) has deployed 3-GIS Network Express, an Esri enabled full edit engineering GIS application, to manage their fiber network. Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative (TREC) is migrating from legacy CAD to enterprise GIS using 3-GIS’s geospatial asset manager Network Express. TREC services an extended rural network; from high on Cheaha Mountain down to Opelika and Auburn. Even so, they know many of their customers by name.
Leveraging Esri’s ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Desktop, Network Express provides fast editing and access to TREC’s database for the most efficient customer service response. TREC converted their CAD files over to a native distribution model data set to connect their network so they can export out to MILsoft OMS and integrate their CIS data as well. This undertaking is being accomplished by a total five TREC linemen and engineers with no previous GIS experience. They chose Network Express for its easy to learn application, and the fact there is not a lot of ArcGIS desktop training involved at all. Network Express can perform a variety of tasks quickly and efficiently, utilizing a modern user interface. And with a reserved number personnel managing so many levels of operations, an open scalable solution for a growing enterprise is a viable necessity. Read More
