PARIS January 28th, 2022: Aplines has joined ESRI’s highly coveted start-up program, following a rigorous pre-qualification process. As a result, Aplines will be integrating its solutions with ESRI’s “Utility Network” (UN), a network model tailored specifically for the utilities sector. UN provides a network model and asset data dictionary that makes integrations easier. Utilities that are implementing UN will be able to leverage their investment and seamlessly integrate Aptimize, Aplines’ Decision Management Application Suite. Aptimize will leverage asset data that sits in UN, and information coming from Aptimize, such as asset risk, will also flow back into ArcGIS. ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute), is the international supplier and the world leader of geographic information system (GIS) software, web GIS, and geodatabase management applications.
