SSP Innovations has introduced a new GIS Maturity Assessment service aimed at helping utilities strengthen their enterprise GIS programs. The assessment, which is designed to be a collaborative effort, provides a structured approach for evaluating current GIS practices against over 140 industry-recognized benchmarks across key focus areas, including administration, infrastructure, spatial data, governance, and program management. The result is a comprehensive report and maturity score that compares the organization’s practices to leading utilities across the industry.
"The GIS Maturity Assessment gave us better insight into our current GIS practices as we prepare for our upgrade to Esri’s ArcGIS Utility Network. We now have a better handle on our strengths and where we can improve.” -- GIS Services Manager, Major US Electric and Gas Utility
