Our Vision
To manage, maintain and effectively utilize accurate, reliable and consistent Geo-Spatial Data
3
Our Mission
To provide proactive support and assistance, in termsof both technology and staff to acquire, convert, integrate, maintain, document, analyze, coordinate, and distribute geographic information for a variety
of SEWA needs.
In a greater context, is to utilize GIS and GIS-based technologies to improve analysis and subsequent decisions
aimed at improving internal procedures and enhance public services and products.

Conclusion
GIS is again perceived as an essential building block in the utility’s application landscape. Drivers for the renewed interest in GIS are:
Safety and compliance regulationsReadiness for new network management practices (smart grid)Operational process improvementsA general requirement for increased traceability of the network situation.
Many issues that were previously looked at from a different (departmental) perspective are now being placed in a broader enterprise context. The current GIS systems in many utilities are often inadequate for providing answers to these new enterprise requirements.
Together with an inevitable technology transition for many older GIS implementations, this observation provides a clear case for action to engage in a GIS renewal project.
The journey towards the GIS Enterprise requires some reflection and planning. In that process, some organizational and technological hurdles may need to be overcome.

“ Nevertheless, the establishment of a clear vision should not prevent organizations from moving forward step by step in a pragmatic way,
with intermediate realizations that add value to the business. “
