Model Manager

 

The Client: Traverse City Light and Power

Traverse City Light & Power (TCL&P) is a public electric utility, owned and operated by Traverse City Michigan. TCL&P has been providing reliable, responsive, not-for-profit electric service to over 12,000 customers for over 108 years. TCL&P has been using ArcGIS and related third party products for over 20 years to maintain and analyze the digital representation of its electric network system. Avineon’s Michigan office has been serving TCL&P since 2002 with GIS design, implementation, and support.

The Challenge: Communicating the Value Provided by ArcGIS

TLC&P needed an efficient way to communicate the current use of ArcGIS and plan for future use. This capability is essential to fully understand the ArcGIS capabilities currently in use and plan the future role of GIS in the company’s multi-year digital strategy. Overall, TCL&P needed an effective way to visualize:

 

  1. How is ArcGIS set up and used?
  2. Which fields and domains / domain values are used versus unused?
  3. Which use cases need testing during updates and upgrades?
  4. Which apps can be consolidated and modernized in the future state?
  5. Which additional use cases can ArcGIS support in the future state?

The Solution: Consulting Services and Innovative Tools

TCL&P leveraged consulting services and innovative tools for ArcGIS from Avineon to tackle the challenge. The iterative approach, mostly performed on-line, resulted in establishing information model dashboards for TCL&P, using Avineon’s Model Manager.

The Result

The key outcome from this engagement is the centralization of institutional knowledge spread across people and documents. Maintaining content in information model dashboards using ArcGIS Pro has resulted in a sustainable approach to share and collaborate on the role played by GIS within the enterprise’s digital landscape.

 

  • Visualizing Use Cases:
 Using Avineon's Model Manager for the implementation of a use cases dashboard, which provides the comprehensive listing of use cases supported by ArcGIS across local, network, and online environments.
  • Visualizing Dependencies:
 Using Avineon's Model Manager for the inventory of relationships into an interactive dependencies dashboard, which is used to visualize (i) use cases impacted by a layer/subtype/field, and (ii) layers/subtypes/fields associated with a use case.
  • Visualizing Domains:
 Using Avineon's Model Manager for the inventory of domains and domain values into a domains dashboard, which is used to visualize (i) classes and fields in which a particular domain is used, (ii) all domains configured on a class, and (iii) domain values used vs. unused across the geodatabase.
  • Visualizing Data Trends:
 Using Avineon's Model Metric for the trending of data by feature class, subtype, and assets of interest into a data trends dashboard, which is used to understand and analyze (i) feature counts by layer/class, and (ii) percentage populated by field.
