Enterprise GIS Solutions Powered by Esri ArcGIS

7T specializes in leveraging the full power of Esri’s ArcGIS platform, the world’s leading geospatial technology ecosystem. We improve your data quality, cost-efficiency and communication by providing end-to-end solutions for designing, implementing, and optimizing geospatial infrastructure for utility organizations.

Our GIS offerings harness the integrated components of the ArcGIS ecosystem, from ArcGIS Enterprise and Online to its Developer SDKs, to build spatial solutions that power operational excellence across your organization.

Utility Geospatial Service Offerings

Our solutions improve your ability to make data-driven decisions by leveraging the ArcGIS platform’s purpose-built applications to deliver spatial intelligence across the full utility lifecycle, from planning and maintenance to customer engagement.

1. Enterprise Asset Management & Data Integrity

Build and maintain a single, authoritative spatial record of all utility assets and property boundaries.

Network Data Management & Mapping: Design and implementation of highly accurate, maintainable digital inventories for linear assets (e.g., pipe, wire) and point assets (e.g., valves, manholes, hydrants) for Water/Wastewater Management.

Property and Easement Inventory: Geospatial management of Right-of-Way (ROW) and Easement data, enabling internal and external stakeholders to access current property rights information for planning and maintenance access through ROW and Easement Management solutions.

Targeted Asset Inventory: Development of specialized, regulatory-driven asset inventories, such as Lead Service Line Inventory tracking, for compliance and phased replacement planning.

2. Field Operations & Maintenance Optimization

Streamline field-to-office workflows and ensure efficiency and data accuracy for critical operational tasks using Esri’s suite of mobile apps.

Standardized Field Inspection Workflows: Deployment of configurable mobile solutions via Field Maps and Survey123 to standardize and streamline high-volume field tasks, including device inspections, preventative maintenance checks, and safety surveys for Manhole Inspections, Hydrant Inspections, and Backflow Inspections.

Automated Condition Assessment: Implementation of solutions to integrate specialized inspection data (e.g., video, sensor logs) into the GIS, automatically creating spatial records for condition assessment and repair prioritization through CCTV Manager functionality.

Mobile Workforce Enablement: Provide field crews with real-time access to system maps, asset data, and work assignments, strengthening collaboration and improving data accuracy at the source.

3. Customer Engagement & Service Transparency

Improve public communication, manage service disruptions, and streamline non-emergency requests through web GIS.

Service Interruption Communication: We provide timely and transparent updates to customers and stakeholders regarding planned or unplanned Utility Service Interruptions with rapid deployment of public-facing web applications and dashboards.

Non-Emergency Citizen Reporting: Our implementation of geo-enabled forms and applications allow the public to easily submit and track non-emergency service requests (e.g., leaks, damage, property issues) directly into the utility’s workflow through a Citizen Problem Reporter.

4. Planning & Project Coordination

Ensure capital expenditures are coordinated, tracked, and communicated effectively across internal departments and external partners.

Geospatial organization and coordination of official capital projects, enabling portfolio tracking, external agency coordination, and transparent progress updates through Capital Project Coordination solutions.

GIS Technical Capabilities

7T’s geospatial development expertise spans the entire ArcGIS ecosystem, from enterprise architecture to cloud-native solutions and advanced spatial analysis.

ArcGIS Enterprise Architecture & Management

Secure & Scalable Infrastructure: Design, deployment, and maintenance of high-availability (HA) ArcGIS Enterprise environments, including ArcGIS Server, Portal, and Data Store.

Performance Optimization: Expertise in federated service configuration, user authentication (enterprise logins), and database integration to support high-volume spatial queries and real-time operations.

Data Governance & Security: Implement robust data governance and security models for public and private sector data, ensuring system resilience and reliable data access.

Utility Network (UN) Migration: Proven ability to facilitate the migration of utility data to the ArcGIS Utility Network Management (UNM) framework, enabling advanced connectivity tracing, asset modeling, and next-generation utility management.

Cloud & Web GIS Development (ArcGIS Online / PaaS)

Custom Web Application Development: Rapid development and deployment of custom geospatial applications using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript and ArcGIS REST API. Solutions support dynamic data visualization, real-time operational insights, and seamless integration with hosted feature services.

Cloud-Native Data Management: Use of ArcGIS Online (AGOL) for secure data hosting, visualization, access control, and user management, forming the foundation for field and operational data sharing.

Low/No-Code Solution Deployment: Build rapid operational workflows using Portal/AGOL tools, including Experience Builder, Web AppBuilder, Survey123, and Dashboards, to deliver interactive, decision-ready applications.

Hybrid GIS Deployment: Implement synchronization mechanisms between ArcGIS Enterprise and AGOL to enable secure, real-time data sharing and collaboration between back-office and field teams.

Advanced Spatial Analysis & Data Automation

Spatial Data Science: Expertise in leveraging ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Desktop for advanced geoprocessing, spatial and statistical analysis, pattern identification, and risk assessment to derive strategic insights.

Automated Workflow Development (FME): Deep expertise in FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) for complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) workflows, ensuring seamless integration between diverse systems, databases, and GIS platforms. FME is the industry-leading data integration platform developed by Safe Software.

Core FME Capabilities: Data validation, format conversion, attribute mapping, and automated data synchronization (e.g., automated customer onboarding and ingestion of IoT/field data).

Custom Geoprocessing & Scripting: Development of automated workflows and custom tools using ArcPy and related Esri APIs to streamline complex data preparation, analysis, and quality assurance tasks, improving efficiency and data quality.

Technology-Agnostic Strategy & Implementation

Flexible Solution Design: Ability to design and implement solutions that align with specific client technical and financial requirements by combining Esri technologies with an open-source stack.

Open-Source Integration: Expertise in leveraging solutions like PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GeoServer, and OpenLayers to provide cost-effective, flexible alternatives for small and mid-sized organizations requiring robust mapping and spatial analysis capabilities outside the Esri ecosystem.

The 7T Advantage: GIS Development

Business-First Philosophy

Everything we do is driven first by solid business strategy. We spend time early in the process working through what your utility truly needs, and only then apply a Digital Transformation strategy and start a custom GIS development project.

Local Expertise, Global Reach

Our Dallas-based team of GIS architects and engineers connects with clients and demonstrates very high levels of technical expertise. Combined with our development resources, 7T delivers enterprise-quality geospatial solutions at an exceptional price point.

Transparent Design Process

Our UI/UX architects lead designs from the front. We complete all UI/UX work and secure client buy-in and approval BEFORE a single line of code is written or a server spun up. This leads to solid deliveries that consistently exceed client expectations

Open Project Management

We take a team approach to delivery, giving clients total transparency. One manifestation of this is our open project management process, which allows all clients to see our JIRA boards with every task to be developed, what 7T team member is working on it, and expected completion date.
