What is Cyber Security built on? As a Utility, what kind of questions do you need to ask yourself to define your security risk level? How does a modern web application mitigate cyber attacks?

Security is neither free nor automatic but requires knowledge and effort from both the solution vendor and the utility. Read this white paper on Web Application Security for Utilities to find out the answer to these questions and many more.

​The Trimble NIS main version 19.1 has been released. Some very nice features have been included in the new version to help our users in their everyday work. Here are some of our favorite Highlights. 
 
Limit network visibility in Utility To Go
Grant simple permits to users for different geographical areas in Utility To Go. Area permits are useful for utilities that assign field work to several subcontractors in different areas, or have modeled different network types, such as electricity, water and district heating, in Trimble NIS. You can also prevent users from viewing the network within a special area (such as a military base).

​The Rocky Mountains is probably what first comes to mind when you hear Colorado and summit in the same sentence. It was, however, another kind of summit that attracted 40 User Experience Professionals from around the globe to Colorado on April 2–4. One of them was our UX Designer Tuukka Pykäläinen who travelled from Finland to the City of Westminster to give a talk on Creating an Admin Tool for a New Cloud Municipality GIS Service.

​Make your utility field planning process easier, faster and less prone to errors.

Utility To Go is a mobile solution that provides field crews with secure access to utility network data anytime, anywhere, in real-time and with most smartphones, tablets or laptops.

It’s now possible to add notes to network plans also in the field. With Utility To Go, you can add notes related to planning, view plans, sketch alternative routes, and take photos in the field to support further planning. There is no need to print network plans on paper anymore, and the field crews have access to an always up-to-date plan.
