Brazilian Electricity Company Unleashes Geospatial Data with Web App<\/p>\r\nThe Bahia State Electricity Company, known by its Portuguese acronym Coelba, needed a better way to share geospatial data throughout the organization. Too often, Coelba's mapping and cadastre unit had to generate small maps of specific areas and share them as PDFs with other departments so they could do various types of analysis. This was time consuming, and the technical information in the maps was static.\r\n\r\nTo best serve its more than 5.6 million customers in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia, Coelba (which is part of Brazil's Neoenergia Group, one of the largest private investors in the Brazilian electricity sector) created an online app to allow its employees to search and access geographic data related to the region's electrical system. The app, called GSE Web (which stands for Gest\u00e3o do Sistema El\u00e9trico, or Electrical System Management), enables staff on the sales, planning, design works, and maintenance teams to more easily plan projects and increase operational intelligence."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":101752,"image_position":"right","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
