InfoNetrix Survey Identifies US$55 Million in GIS & Mobile Computing Projects
Sacramento, CA & New Orleans, LA (April 25, 2002) – A new market survey conducted by InfoNetrix (Sacramento, CA & New Orleans, LA) has identified US$55 million in Geographical Information Systems and Mobile Computing (GMC) project activity among U.S. and Canadian electric utilities. The Q1-2002 GMC Tactical Project Activity Report contains detailed findings about utility automation projects being planned by 200 of the 1,000 utilities that will be surveyed by the InfoNetrix market research and consulting team by year-end.

“We are very pleased with the results of our first quarter data gathering and the resulting project activity report,” commented Mike Smith, Director of Tactical Market Research at InfoNetrix. “The depth and breadth of our market coverage allows us to provide detailed market and project activity information to our clientele on both a macro- and a micro-scale.” Smith added that the results of ongoing GMC research will be presented at the firm’s Fall GMC Executive Market Summit, to be held in Denver, CO on September 23, 2002. “These specialized market briefings are designed to keep our clients and other attendees on the cutting edge of market intelligence in a way that cannot be achieved through published reports alone,” Smith concluded.

The Q1-2002 report contains the results of interviews conducted with managers at 200 electric utilities across the United States and Canada by InfoNetrix market analysts between January and April 2002 and documents both existing and planned GMC projects. Each of the four quarterly project reports issued by InfoNetrix during the year covers a full spectrum* of automation products, systems and services for utility operations including geographical information systems; conversion/mapping; consulting services; mobile computing and related systems and services (e.g., outage management and work management systems). Subsequent quarterly reports will be published in July and October of 2002 and in January of 2003.

InfoNetrix™ is a market research and consulting firm with dual headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana and Sacramento, California.
