2025 WA GIS Conference

Using the collection of Utility Network Foundations is a productive and quick way to get your agency up and running with ESRI’s next generation of utility asset tracking and modeling. There is a healthy collection of ESRI documentation on the use of the Foundations, but sometimes, expert written documentation can assume prior knowledge that the audience may not possess. This can slow down adoption and create uncertainty in both the agency’s technical team but also their customers.

In this session, we will do a cursory examination of the data migration tools provided by the Foundation toolboxes. We will examine the available migration scripts: how to use a data mapping workbook, extending the basic schema, and execute a data load. We will look at the resources available to help you on your journey and share advice. At the end of the session, you will hopefully feel more confident in the preparation of your Asset Package for deployment in a single-user or enterprise environment.
