Data update and migration
Ensure your data is up to date, consistent and secure — comprehensive data update and migration form the foundation of effective infrastructure management, investment planning and secure network operation
What are the benefits of a comprehensive data update and migration?
We fully understand our clients’ needs, which is why we approach the process of data update and migration on a case-by-case basis, treating it as a strategic element of infrastructure management. We provide full technical support at every stage, from data analyses and organisation, through standardisation and updating, to secure implementation into IT systems. For maximum convenience, we carry out work both on-site and directly within the client’s system environment, ensuring data consistency and network continuity. We strive for a situation where on-site = GIS = SCADA = safe operation. Up-to-date data ‘for today’ means safety today and tomorrow. By choosing to engage in cooperation with us, you can count on:
up-to-date data reflecting the actual state of the infrastructure
consistency of information between GIS and SCADA systems
improving safety at work and during operation
conscious and controlled data migration
clear information on the risks and benefits of migration
standardised data standards
better planning of investments and maintenance work
the long-term value of data for the organisation.
Sectors that most frequently commission data updates and migrations
• local government bodies and organisational units,
• power grid operators and owners,
• municipal companies,
• entities modernising GIS and SCADA systems,
• organisations managing historical technical data.
Ensure data security with up-to-date and consistent data
Today’s data is tomorrow’s secure infrastructure
Comprehensive data acquisition – data update and migration as the foundation for secure infrastructure operation
Comprehensive data acquisition in the context of data update and migration involves analysing source data, verifying it in the field, and making informed changes to the client’s IT systems.
The aim of the process is not merely to supplement or transfer data, but to ensure that it reflects the actual state of the infrastructure and that there is consistency between systems such as GIS and SCADA. Up-to-date and standardised data forms the basis for the safe operation of the network, investment planning and sound operational decision-making.
We strive to ensure that the data in IT systems fully reflects the reality on the ground — because only then is safe operation possible, both today and in the future.
How does the data update and migration process work?
We begin the process by conducting analyses of the existing data and documentation provided by the client. We verify its completeness, currency, structure and compliance with applicable standards.
In the case of data migration, we carry out detailed mapping between the source and target systems. At this stage, we identify which information can be transferred directly, which requires conversion, and which may lose its value in the new environment. These open analyses allow the client to make an informed assessment of what they will gain and what they may potentially lose during the migration process.
As part of data updates, we carry out field surveys and asset mapping. The data entered into the systems is current as of the date of fieldwork, whilst taking into account the fact that the power grid is a dynamic structure that is constantly changing.
We therefore place particular emphasis on the ongoing recording of even the smallest operational changes, such as the replacement of lighting fixtures, safety components or minor modifications to the network configuration.
The end result is a consistent, up-to-date and secure data model that ensures consistency between the field, GIS and SCADA systems, and effectively supports the safe operation of the infrastructure.
Data updates – fieldwork and the ongoing nature of change
As part of our data updates, we carry out, amongst other things, field surveys and asset mapping, combined with data entry into the client’s IT systems. We would like to emphasise that the data collected in the field is current as of the date the work is carried out. At the same time, the power infrastructure is not a static structure — it changes every day. It is therefore crucial to continuously record even the smallest changes in the systems, such as: replacement of a light fitting, replacement of a fuse link in a cable connector, changes to the configuration of network components, and minor operational and maintenance work. Only systematic data updates can maintain consistency between the reality on the ground and GIS and SCADA systems, which directly translates into the safety of people and infrastructure, as well as the continuity of network operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We always analyse the source data for quality, currency and relevance. In many cases, mindlessly transferring historical data leads to the replication of errors and inconsistencies. That is why we identify which data is worth migrating and which is better replaced with a current field survey.
Data mapping is the process of aligning structures, attributes and relationships between the source and target systems. It enables you to determine how data will be mapped in the new system, which data requires transformation, and which information may be altered or lost. This is a crucial stage in a well-planned and secure data migration.
Yes — the data collected during the inventory and asset mapping exercise is current as of the date the fieldwork was carried out. At the same time, we would like to emphasise that the power infrastructure is subject to constant change, which is why it is crucial to continue updating the data in the systems on a regular basis.
Even minor changes, such as replacing a light fitting or a fuse link, affect the actual condition of the network. Failure to reflect these changes in GIS and SCADA systems leads to discrepancies between the data and the actual situation on the ground, which directly reduces operational safety and the quality of planning.
Yes — up-to-date data in GIS and SCADA systems directly translates into the safety of people and infrastructure. Up-to-date data ‘as of today’ means safe decisions today and tomorrow. Our goal is full alignment: site = GIS = SCADA = safe operations.
