By making GIS data readily available to all parts of the utility, 3-GIS believes its Express Solution is revolutionizing Enterprise GIS. Most utilities have invested heavily in its mapping system, but this data is hard for most utility personnel to access. 3-GIS recognizes that numerous user groups within a utility are not being served by current GIS functionality, due to a number of factors:

• Complex GIS software that is difficult to learn


• Expensive software limiting how many can access this data


• Complex mapping applications requiring numerous IT resources

The Express Solution is 3-GIS’s answer for these issues. Express Solution consists of our configuration tool Express Conductor, our mobile solution Field Express and our truly thin-client web-editing tool Network Express, which are built on the following principles:

• Tools that are lightweight, mission-specific, and easy to learn


• Tools that are easy to configure and administer


• Tools that deliver GIS to the entire utility enterprise

3-GIS’s Express Solution can be configured against your existing GIS, greatly minimizing implementation time. Between Network Express and Field Express, the 3-GIS Express Solution addresses the following business needs:

Data Management: With both web-based and mobile solutions, 3-GIS’s Express Solution provides GIS tools that are simple to learn and encourage more utilization of a company’s GIS investment.

Planning & Analysis: Network Express provides numerous out of the box tools that provide a surprising amount of capabilities through a simple web interface. These capabilities include network tracing, precision placements, complex queries, work order management, bookmarking, plotting, and reporting. Being on the web doesn’t mean you’ve lost your desktop.

Operational Awareness: Network Express’s ability to bring in other datasets, including satellite imagery, weather overlays, vehicle locations, system status and outage data, make GIS an attractive tool to personnel who only use GIS occasionally.

Workforce Optimization: The Express Solution provides a complete office to field to office GIS solution. Field Express can be quickly configured to any requirements a utility might need, allowing a user to view, add, edit, or inspect assets in the field on a variety of device types. Using Network Express, a user or supervisor can analyze crew workloads and then assign tasks and work to specific crews. Field Express can then retrieve the user and allow the field crew to perform their job effectively. Data added in the field can then be saved to the GIS and reviewed through Network Express.

Network Express: using any web browser, can be effectively used by a utility, gas or electric, to provide both a GIS analysis and editing tool. Network Express provides the following capabilities for a utility’s existing GIS: Editing – Create or edit GIS data and related records Tracing – Connected, Outage, Phase Query – Both Complex and Preconfigured Plotting – Both simple printing and plot borders Work Orders – manage crews and perform assigned activities Data Access – Imagery, Weather, Google Street View, Web Services, RSS

Field Express Chameleon: Utilizing its strong configuration tool, Express Conductor, an administrator can quickly setup Field Express to perform or manage the following utility activities (with a single application): Inspections and Maintenance Data Collection and Correction Damage Assessment Vegetation and ROW Management Design Capture
