My name is Charles Huddleston.
I'm Senior VP of Engineering for Central Service Association.
We have a suite of GIS related solutions that we call Utilisuite.
It consists of Utilitrack,
Utilistate,
Utilicomp,
and Utiligo.
And Utiligo is powered by or run by the technologies based on IQGeo.
Our organization,
Central Service Association,
we've been around since 1937. We provide IT services to Utilities,
Customer Billing,
to Financials,
to GIS,
Meter Data Management,
Networks,
so the whole gamut.
We decided to partner with IQGeo because of
basically the usability of it and the ease of use.
We call it Mobile Mapping and More because they do
much more with the solution than just locate their
their equipment or where their network is.
A good example of that is one of our utilities
wanted all of the street lights changed out to LED.
So they did the whole design going out looking at the lights,
determining what size LED light they needed there based on,
you know,
where it was.
Is it at an intersection?
And then when it came time to install it,
they had a contractor.
So they gave an iPad to the contractor
and as he did the installation,
they could track real time what he was doing.
One of the main things our utilities are looking forward and we're
working on right now is to be able to go out and update data in the
field and then be able to post that back into the GIS of record.
And that's one of the keys that I believe in looking
out that IQGeo excels at is it's a gatekeeper process
so you don't have to type the data back into the GIS.
You can view the data and then if it looks okay,
you just click a button and it posts it into the GIS.
So that's a major plus for our utilities.
We've got nine utilities installed.
I haven't trained a user yet.
We just give it to them and they know how to use it.
So that's a great deal.
