PBE in Belgium Decides to Introduce ESRI-based ArcFM UT from AED-SICAD

PBE („De Provinciale Brabantse Energiemaatschappij - La Provinciale Brabançonne d'Energie“) is the supplier for electricity and cable TV and this for a large number of municipalities around Leuven in the western and eastern part of the provinces of “Vlaams-Brabant” and “Brabant Walloon” of Belgium. In total, 20 municipalities from the Flemish and 4 from the Walloon region belong to the distribution area of PBE. Due to the limitations of the current CAD-based documentation system with mostly manual processes, PBE was looking for a GIS and database-driven system, allowing among others also the generation of other plan types (e.g. overview plans) from the as-built plan. PBE selected in August 2008 AED-SICAD’s ArcFM UT product suite for the documentation and analysis of utility networks. AED-SICAD business partner ESRI BeLux will implement the solution under participation of AED-SICAD. Mr. Herman Remmerie, PBE general manager, explains that “PBE saw that the team of AED-SICAD and ESRI BeLux best understood our business processes and what we were really looking for. Besides the price, this was a very important criterion for our selection”.
