All municipalities have new and legacy data stored in a variety of formats in many locations. Municipalities need a way to integrate data so that it can be analyzed as a whole and leveraged to make critical infrastructure decisions. Not only is this important to make decisions, but as asset networks become increasingly complicated, GIS becomes a vital tool to ensure safety for communities. For example, city workers could unknowingly cut an electrical line thus causing fires and power outages. Because municipalities have neglected digital integration, assets, projects and communities are at serious risk. However, thanks to its versatility, GIS can help municipalities avoid these issues.  By using its spatial component, GIS can highlight locations of infrastructure damage while also providing location services and route optimizations for field crews and Emergency responders. This saves tremendous time and money when it comes to infrastructure maintenance.
