Why GIS Accuracy Matters More Than Ever

Accurate GIS network data is critical to utility and infrastructure operations. When the data is wrong, it leads to costly inefficiencies — crews waste time locating assets, outage restorations take longer, and fieldwork becomes error-prone. These inefficiencies aren’t just inconvenient; they can directly impact service reliability and customer trust. 

Inaccurate data also introduces serious risks. From safety incidents and environmental damage to compliance violations and audit failures, poor spatial data can have legal, financial, and reputational consequences. And as utilities adopt digital twins and AI-powered analytics, any gaps in accuracy cascade into flawed decisions and stalled transformation efforts. 

To stay ahead, organizations must treat GIS as a living system — continuously maintained, verified, and aligned with other data sources like LiDAR and imagery. Investing in data quality now avoids expensive corrections later. In today’s spatially driven world, “close enough” simply isn’t good enough.
