Take Control of Your ArcGIS Utility Network Migration
Take Control of Your ArcGIS Utility Network Migration
Published: June 5, 2025
Across North America, utility GIS teams like yours work quietly under pressure. As deadlines close in and data gaps multiply, regulators run laps around your systems. Yet your team is still expected to deliver a flawless migration – often with limited resources and even less time.
But what if your team could thrive through the migration… not just survive it?
That’s where 1Spatial comes in.
Our UN Migration Suite is purpose-built to empower utility teams with scalable, SaaS-based solutions designed for clarity, speed and assurance.
No extensive training. No fragile custom code. Just intuitive tools that put your team in the driver’s seat, all while providing expert guardrails every step of the way.
Three Apps. One Seamless Path to the Utility Network
Our ArcGIS UN migration suite includes:
-
UN Readiness App
Evaluate the quality of your existing data before you begin. This web-based app quickly surfaces schema misalignments, geometric errors, and rule violations so you can clean your data at the source—before it ever touches the UN model. -
UN Migration App
Design your Utility Network schema, map from your current model, and migrate data iteratively. The app includes automation to reduce manual rework and guides you through essential modeling decisions without requiring you to be an Esri expert. -
UN Validation App
Use this app to confirm your data meets Esri’s Utility Network requirements. Run rule checks, catch conformance issues, and automate fix-ups. It acts as a firewall to ensure what goes live is reliable.
Together, these apps form a complete, structured pathway to Utility Network adoption. Each step is built on 1Spatial’s deep expertise in spatial data quality and automation – so you get the benefit of years of migration knowledge, embedded in the software.
Our tools are designed for ease of use and immediate deployment. Which means: no software to install, and everything is accessible via secure web portal or directly in ArcGIS Pro.
Your GIS team can start with a free trial of the UN Readiness App and begin assessing data within minutes.
The platform is intuitive, drag-and-drop friendly, and equipped with visual spatial reports that clearly identify issues on your map.
Need to migrate in stages? No problem. The apps support phased transitions and iterative cycles. You can test, adjust, and re-validate data as often as needed.
But don’t just take our word for it…
Real Success: Lessons From the Field
GIS administrators at utilities like Holland Board of Public Works have proven just how effective this method can be when powered by 1Spatial tools.
After implementing the UN Readiness and Migration Apps, Holland BPW accelerated their timeline significantly, completing a successful migration in under 100 business days.
“Thanks to 1Spatial, we achieved a successful UN migration in half the time,” said GIS Specialist Neil Besteman. “Traditional methods would have exceeded our project timeline.”
The apps didn’t just speed up workflows, though; they gave Holland BPW full visibility into their data quality, made remediation easier and simplified communication with internal stakeholders.
Our approach:
-
Robust, proven tools designed for non-developers.
-
Option to scale up or partner for services as needed.
We call this “hybrid-flexible support.” You lead your migration, and we supply the guardrails.
