GIS forms the bedrock of a national water utility - Irish Water.

Founded to address critical water issues in the Republic of Ireland, Irish Water initially had no asset data, no business systems, no customer information and very little time to get up and running. It took the decision to install GIS at the very bedrock of its business and is now reaping all the benefits of a highly efficient operation.

One of its earliest decisions was to install an enterprise GIS, and it selected Esri’s ArcGIS for Water Utility, a comprehensive off-the-shelf solution with pre-configured templates, a water data model and ready-to-go apps and maps covering almost all aspects of a water utility’s business.

GIS now plays a pivotal role in enabling Irish Water to achieve highly efficient field operations, intelligent investment planning and successful partner collaboration.
