Veolia Water (UK) to improve business efficiencies with ESRI (UK) corporate GIS solution
Largest UK clean water supplier to ease regulatory reporting with latest geographic information system software
ESRI (UK) has won a contract with Veolia Water UK to provide a corporate GIS solution that will help the company to improve business efficiencies within its operations. As the largest clean water supplier in the UK, Veolia Water UK comprises Three Valleys Water, Folkestone & Dover Water Services, and Tendring Hundred Water Services.
The ESRI ArcGIS solution will provide Veolia Water UK with a centralised hub of geographic intelligence for more efficient planning and analysis of operations, supporting asset management and customer services. The solution supports a range of activities, including emergency planning and water supply planning for new housing development schemes. It also supports the analysis and identification of candidates for mains replacement and prioritisation.
The new web-based corporate GIS will replace the existing corporate GIS and help increase efficiencies by closely integrating with Veolia Water UK’s business processes. The decision to implement new GIS software is part of the company’s overall drive to improve systems integration and the visibility of business processes.
Ted Volpe, Veolia Water UK’s IT operational asset systems manager said: “We selected ESRI (UK)’s solution as it offered the best overall value for money for our organisation. As a world leader in GIS technology, its tools provide a rich and robust set of functionality that employees across our group of businesses are already familiar with and so the company has a great depth of support.
“The new corporate GIS system will help us to use a powerful browser solution for most users, better fit our field and design staff into the data maintenance process, meet critical business needs we couldn’t before, and build an open centralised database that we can readily integrate with our other corporate systems.
“The new GIS software is planned to go live in the summer of 2008. It will encompass ESRI’s unique ArcGIS Server web services/SOA platform plus Telvent Miner & Miner’s facilities management solution, ArcFM™.”

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.HAVE WE REALLY LEARNT THE LESSONS FROM LAST YEAR’S FLOODS?
Flooding costs associated with extreme weather, both financial and emotional, have increased considerably over the last decade, and experts have predicted this trend is set to continue.
Paul Livett, Chairman of GroundSure looks into how increasing the use of flood risk information in property transactions can help to ensure both residential and commercial transactions are conducted on a truly informed basis, with buyers being made aware of environmental risks prior to purchase.
Over 2.2 million homes and small businesses in the UK are located in areas considered at risk of flooding, and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said that 570,000 of these face a high risk of flooding. The floods in June and July last year left approximately 48,000 households… More…
