1 Going from Homegrown Delphi/Pascal to Esri, ArcFM, SAP & ADMS Esri GeoConX 2018

2 Presenter Introductions Frank Roberts, Account Manager - UDC Over 16+ years of experience in Defense Mapping, Private Sector, and Utilities Expertise in Esri and ArcFM technologies and experiences with multiple software and database solutions commonly used by electric, gas, and telecom utilities As Program Manager, directed and implemented software solutions for electric, gas, fiber, and telecommunications utilities

3 Presenter Introductions Paul Constance, Integration & Development - CLECO Been at Cleco for 20 years, 18 years in GIS Lead developer in the original GIS, OMS, and AVL, all home grown Current GIS and ADMS admin Lead point person for anything GIS or ADMS related to the conversion to SAP and Esri on the Cleco side.

4 Presenter Introductions Paul Constance, Integration & Development - CLECO Been at Cleco for 20 years, 18 years in GIS Lead developer in the original GIS, OMS, and AVL, all home grown Current GIS and ADMS admin Lead point person for anything GIS or ADMS related to the conversion to SAP and Esri on the Cleco side.

5 CLECO Overview Operating since 1935 and headquartered in Pineville, Louisiana CLECO owns nine generating units with a total nameplate capacity of 3,310 megawatts 11,935 miles of distribution lines and 1,317 miles of transmission lines Serves approximately 288,000 customers in Louisiana through its retail business and supplies wholesale power in Louisiana and Mississippi

6 UDC Overview Founded in 2005 Privately Owned 324 Employees Systems Integrator Spatial Visual Focus Implementation Focus Extensive Gas & Electric Systems Experience

7 Project Background Integrate design and estimating systems with SAP s work management system to produce a comprehensive central design and work management solution Replace homegrown GIS system Maintain Integration to Schneider Electric ADMS

8 Project Background The initial requirement for UDC was to support the SAP interface by making the necessary changes in ArcGIS Enterprise to meet Cleco s business needs. Initial meetings revealed some challenges

9 The Challenge Cleco had not decided on a Design tool that would need to be integrated to SAP Work Management Aggressive schedule Multiple projects and project teams UDC IBM Vesta Schneider Electric

10 Design Tool Decision ADMS deployments need accurate electric networks and business processes in place to maintain them with zero-latency. Cleco already has Schneider Electric s ADMS implemented ArcFM Designer provides a smooth integration to ADMS, meeting the zero-latency requirement

11 Scheduling Multiple projects and project teams working at the same time All projects ready for testing by Aug 2018 Be ready for testing, but keep working towards completion. A Phased approach Continue testing and adjusting

12 The Solution ArcFM Designer Integrations and Tools Customizations AutoUpdaters GDBM Action Handlers Experienced Team

13 ArcFM Designer Benefits Provides Schneider Electric ADMS with zero latency data Estimate job costs through integration to SAP Work Management Streamlines design, construction, and workflow process Design in GIS and export directly into ADMS Single point of entry for all asset information

14 Autoupdaters Calculate ELN Fuse Bank Size Cabinet Association CU Defining Attributes Phase: Size Label Text Operating Voltage Phase Designation Total KVAR Town Cap Bank Relationship Fuse Bank Relationship Recloser Bank Relationship Switch Bank Relationship Transformer Bank Relationship VBK Structure Relationship

15 Integrations and Tools The GIS will need to both send and receive data from SAP during many different points in the daily processes Stand Alone Tools - GIS Data Extraction for SAP - GIS Data Import from SAP GDBM: SAP Action Handlers ArcMap and ArcFM application is the main tool used by mappers/designers

16 Experienced Team Kris Foster Senior Software Engineer/Consultant 16yrs in GIS including 3 years at Schneider Electric

17 Experienced Team Jeff Buturff DBA, Performance Engineer, Lead Developer 25 years in Utility GIS including 6 years with Esri

18 Next Steps ArcMap/ArcFM Take full advantage of all enhancements being added to ArcGIS Enterprise Complete Web GIS Portal collaboration Improved big data analysis Improved real-time event processing Increased agility and integration capabilities Performance Support through January 2024

19 Next Steps ArcFM Editor XI and Designer Improve GIS/EAM and GIS/WMS integration Shorten as-built duration and backlogs Support ADMS Zero-Data Latency for SCADA controls without humans in the loop Reduce the impact of moving to Esri s Utility Network Model Freedom to decide when you want to move to Esri s Utility Network Model
