Case Study: Empresas Públicas de Medellín optimizes utility network management with Hexagon geospatial solutions

Powerful multiutility geospatial technology enhances and optimizes digital management of networks

Empresas Publicas de Medellin (EPM), a multiutility company providing energy, water, gas, and telecommunications services, faced challenges in managing its disparate and outdated network data. EPM needed a geolocation-based tool to intelligently manage its infrastructure and integrate data across departments. To address this, EPM selected advanced utility GIS solutions and a geospatial management platform from Hexagon.

Hexagon implemented its technology through a multi-phase deployment, which involved creating digital network models and converting all of EPM's data into a standard format. The solution, including what is now HxGN NetWorks, became the centralized source for network information. As a result, EPM digitized 100% of its maps, significantly improving agility in accessing information, analyzing efficiency, and supporting processes across commercial, operational, and asset management departments.
