BC Hydro generates and delivers electricity to 95% of the population of British Columbia, Canada. Ensuring reliable service to more than 5 million customers requires ready access to robust GIS data. Since the utility’s GIS information for transmission and distribution resided in GE Smallworld, the organization was limited in the tools it could use to work with that data effectively.
This case study outlines how Epoch Solutions Group was able to provide their GIS data migration software, EpochSync Pro, that allowed BC Hydro to fully synchronize their data between Smallworld Version Managed Data Stores and Esri ArcGIS Enterprise Geodatabases.
