Industry Perspective: VertiGIS
Summary
WaterWorld Editor-in-Chief, Mandy Crispin spoke with VertiGIS Chief Technology Officer Drew Millen about modern water network management. The product that we’re offering is a solution called VertiGIS Networks, and it really enables utilities to deploy extremely light, easy to use web and mobile applications. We want to make sure that that’s really easy, so that once the applications are delivered and enjoyed by the end users, they’re continually maintained with a total cost of ownership that’s a lot lower than if we didn’t focus on that persona within the organization. That phase brought in a ton of feedback, and those improvements that they wanted to make about the usability of the application, what forms were presented and when, and so on. Q: Your software is used widely by hundreds of water utilities around the globe, so what makes your approach to network management workflow different to accommodate that?
