SBS received Esri’s Data Integration award at the 2023 Esri Infrastructure Management and GIS (IMGIS) Conference, held in Palm Springs, California, October 10th-12th, 2023.
SBS is grateful to be distinguished as one of only 15 Esri partners to receive an award at this year’s IMGIS conference, an honor reserved for companies that have demonstrated innovative and creative ways to solve complex problems by using Esri’s ArcGIS software and those who have done exceptional work in advancing geographic information systems (GIS) technology.
This award underscores SBS’s excellent work to integrate ArcGIS technology with SBS CAD-based design solutions and the Esri Utility Network. SBS has further differentiated itself by pioneering configurable integrations with leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems such as SAP and Maximo, opting for configuration over custom coding. It may be this innovative approach that has led 15 of the top 20 largest utilities in the United States to choose SBS for their utility design solutions.
An important part of the software platform is the Utility DataHub™, a configurable set of interfaces that allows virtually seamless data exchange between ArcGIS, design, enterprise asset management, and operations. With the ability to map existing facilities, attributes and connectivity into CAD, designers then augment their designs with analytical values, material assignments and 3D representations prior to returning the data back to ArcGIS Professional and Esri Utility Network. Pre-design data collection or post-design As-built data interoperability is also supported in the Esri ecosystem. This level of data integration – of extending the power of Esri into the CAD world – allows for the type of innovative workflows the industry requires to meet the challenges of today.
“Esri congratulates SBS on their 2023 IMGIS award in recognition of their innovative work leveraging ArcGIS software,” said Richard Cooke, Corporate Director and SVP Global Business Development at Esri. “We are proud to partner with them to foster the use of GIS technology in support of our mutual customers improving infrastructure.”
