"The goal is to convert crucial information to support multiple GIS applications and to verify and update the data currently maintained in our pole ownership database." Don Fryhover, ASI's Senior Vice President, Business Development said, "We are very excited about the opportunity to work with KeySpan, ESRI and Miner & Miner. This team will work very closely to ensure the timely success of the project." When complete, KeySpan's GIS system will be available to more than 300 users at KeySpan and LIPA.
