- Assess existing utility data (geometric networks, legacy geodatabases, CAD) and identify gaps, errors, and connectivity issues ahead of migration
- Clean and prepare data for migration, including attribute standardization and connectivity corrections
- Map legacy schemas to Esri Utility Network foundation models and asset packages, and configure asset packages to meet client needs
- Load data into the Utility Network using Esri data loading tools, FME, Python, or other tools as appropriate
- Enable network topology, resolve dirty areas and topology errors, and configure subnetworks, tiers, and trace configurations
- Configure and test attribute rules, branch versioning, and related editing workflows
- Publish and configure Utility Network services and applications in ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Pro, and Field Maps
- Develop and run QA/QC processes to validate migrated data
- Develop, document, and continually improve standardized migration workflows, scripts, and tools for use across projects
- Train and mentor team members on Utility Network concepts and data migration workflows
