Adding geospatial data to the technical data for a holistic picture provides simple, intuitive, and map-based navigation.
Key capabilities include:

It includes relationships between locations, where features exist, what is happening in an area, or how an area has changed over time.
Benefits are:
- Improve return on assets: Prioritize work, scheduled outages, and increase asset reliability
- Minimize operational risk: Enhance the power of data to solidify decision making and compliance
- Increase workforce productivity: Increase performance by maps enriched with federated GIS data layers
