4 GIS Approach at EGD Leverage EGIS as a platform Identify new business units/groups and their common tasks that can benefit from a map-based application Create lightweight, focused maps and apps to support business processes Rapid deployment Conduct POC/ Pilot to establish business benefits Shorter implementation durations: weeks turnaround time for new applications

5 WMC Where is this emergency located? Construction Where is this new pipes proposed location? Operations Where is this leaking pipe thats been detected? Damage Prevention Where is this locate being requested? Operations Survey Where is this corrosion area that needs to be inspected? Integrity Management Where are the integrity mains that should be pigged this year? M &R Where is this pressure alarm being triggered from? Customer Connections Where are my leads and opportunities? Business Development Where are non- customers on mains? Marketing What areas do we focus this campaign on? Sales Enquiry Could we get gas to this customer? GIS – How it is being used today

6 Examples - Customer Connections WorkSuite Improve access to Information – one stop shop o Provide required work and asset information in one system o Track work history for traceability and easy hand-off Improve Work Flow o Manage and communicate work electronically o Eliminate the need for paper forms and documents o Minimize visits to the back office – 80% of time spent in the field with potential customers Leverage our Enterprise Data o Eliminate duplicate entry for data that already exists in other systems o See location and status of new sales leads and potential opportunities o Anticipate & mitigate issues by reviewing land & environmental features prior to site visits o Plan future work load and expansion based on sales leads trend/demand

9 The Change… Before After …and in the field

10 Electronic Field Devices are installed at regulator stations to monitor pressure of gas distribution network. When pressure conditions outside of the defined norm are met, Measurement & Regulation is dispatched to: Investigate Alarm Resolve Operational Issues In addition, M&R is responsible for the regular maintenance of regulators throughout the Enbridge Gas franchise area.

15 Field Data Capture using GPS GPS based field data collection initiated in o Capture location of EGD gas network assets and land base features o 3G enabled Wireless data download and upload facilities o Aimed at removing the paper based processes Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 GeoXH EGIS functionality extended to Trimble devices o Trimble devices use ArcGIS Mobile applications for data capture o User friendly field application with intuitive user interface o Users gets the same look and feel in the field as for other EGIS applications o Redline (field updates) capability to capture gas network features o Data integrated into GIS, associating location and assets o New Construction, Maintenance and Damage Prevention o Moving towards to Electronic As-Laid

16 So What ……. Link to Business Benefits o GIS implementation at EGD is helping business with the Core EGD Objectives: o Safety o Customer Experience o Productivity Since the implementation of EGIS the number of users has gone up by more than 25% with several new business units now using GIS as their core system. The factors which have helped this are: o Easier adoption of new applications by the users – Map based application are simpler to use o Easier Deployment Options – Rapid development and quick deployment facilitated by ESRI platform Business Units are realizing operational efficiency and productivity gains from GIS by using spatial business intelligence in the decision making process
