Getting Esri Utility Network Migrations Right: Lessons from the Field

Migrating to Esri’s Utility Network is no easy task. Especially when the legacy data model, the asset relationships, and the schema decisions start colliding with the manual effort required to overcome those limitations.

This session pairs Locus New Zealand’s local and global field experience with the power of Safe Software’s FME to walk through what actually happens during Utility Network migrations, drawing on projects across New Zealand and the world. FME structures the process: assessing data maturity, mapping schemas, managing IDs and relationships, and remediating legacy data quality issues before they become production problems.

Join us to learn how to:

• Assess migration readiness and data maturity before work begins
• Map schemas and manage IDs, relationships, and data integrity across systems
• Build reusable FME workflows that scale across future migration phases
• Apply the same roadmap to a first migration or an already complex, established network

Attendees leave with a clearer view of where Utility Network migrations typically go wrong, where FME can step in to automate, and a set of patterns to keep their own project on track.
