Miner & Miner Announces the Release of ArcFM Energy Software for utilities takes advantage of ESRI’s new ArcInfo 8.0.2 platform“The ArcFM Energy solution provides a utility and its users with productivity tools that support the way the industry uses and manages data in the modern competitive marketplace,” noted M&M President Jeff Meyers. “ArcFM Energy spatial tools allow utilities to use AM/FM/GIS throughout the organization, realizing additional improvements in all critical business areas, including engineering, customer service, marketing and sales.” ArcFM consists of a family of geodatabases, which are intelligent sets of objects that represent the behavior and characteristics of land, energy, telecommunications, and water utilities, plus a thin application layer that is an extension of ArcInfo. ArcFM Energy allows utility businesses to make use of a single integrated environment to manage and map multiple utilities, leveraging all the power of ArcInfo’s object-oriented architecture. Editing functionality includes fast geometric coordinate geometry - commonly associated with map feature management - without add-on programming or customization. “Utility businesses want an easy way for users to access spatial information in the same way they access other information,” said Paul Snook, vice president of sales and marketing, Miner & Miner. “Using ArcInfo 8 technology at its core, ArcFM Energy takes advantage of the very latest computing standards, providing an excellent means for absorbing GIS into a utility enterprise’s overall information system architecture.” ArcFM Energy fits into the overall information technology architecture of modern utilities through the use of open databases, industry-standard programming environments and COM architecture. It provides a scalable architecture for the full range of utility business needs, and can be used for a single departmental installation or as a multi- departmental enterprise configuration for creating, managing and disseminating utility information. ArcFM Energy is implemented within the ArcInfo 8 environment using an object- oriented architecture. ArcInfo 8, ESRI’s professional GIS, is the most significant release of GIS software ever to hit the computing market. It sets a new standard for applying geographic knowledge and supporting spatial decision making. From small projects to enterprise-wide systems, ArcInfo 8 provides a scalable solution and a complete, integrated platform for creating, managing and disseminating geographic information.
