PUF's Rachel Bryant: Please describe the innovation and its positive impact.
Adam Cianfarani: The innovation, in a nutshell, uses GIS technology to bridge data and workflows from the field to the office. GIS is not new as ITC has used it for more than a decade, but in a limited way, mostly to get assets on a map.
The real leap happened when we created a dedicated GIS team and gave them the resources and time to push the technology further. The result is a common operating platform for the entire company.
