This will serve as the foundation for an intelligent network infrastructure that improves efficiencies, increases safety and enables smarter business decisions.

According to Telvent's chairman and CEO, Ignacio Gonzalez, “Russia is one of the world’s leaders in producing electric power and this partnership with Esri CIS will help companies in the region modernize their current technology while realizing greater cost savings and power efficiency.”
