Fusion Mapping
Developed for utilities, Fusion Mapping is not a traditional GIS. It's a connectivity engine with a mapping function, not the other way around. It is streamlined to improve both productivity and accuracy of the facility model at every step of its lifecycle. Discover a better way to map...
Fusion Mapping is a combination of tools built for the Fusion Framework that simplifies the management of your network. Using the Microsoft guidelines for interface generation, you will feel like you’ve been using Fusion for a long time, even after just a few minutes.
Data Quality Agent (DQA)
In general, data error detection is performed as a batch process, executed only when the GIS data update work is completed. The data anomalies report is then reviewed by a GIS technician that finds the problematic objects and performs the proper corrective action. This cycle might need to be repeated multiple times, as new errors could be introduced accidentally by the technician corrects the anomalies identified in the previous report.
DQA constantly validates the data affected by a data manipulation performed by a GIS technician. If an abnormal condition is created by the result of a data update, DQA informs the technician of the abnormal result and recommends a resolution solution.
DQA is designed to reduce the time spent by GIS technicians in the validation and correction of their work. This interactive tool informs the technician of data anomalies the instant they are created. By doing so, the data anomalies can be corrected by the technician, as soon as they are detected by DQA: it’s like having another data expert assisting you applying changes to your GIS database content, and keeping it clear of anomalies. It comes with predefined data validation rules and you can write your own to match your business rules. It is also possible to define a data validation rule that will correct data anomalies without any user intervention.

Modules
Network viewer
Fusion Viewer render spatial data from spatial RDBMS. It's configurable symbology with complex sub-part symbol allows you to visualize your GIS data in any possible ways.
The Network Viewer can be configure to automatically load the GIS data within the boundary of the viewer’s viewport, or to rely on the user to manually load the desired data. This flexibility allows you to optimize performances and business processes when working in a specific geographic area.
Background information can be displayed through the use of graphical files such as DXF or DWG files.

Network editor
The Fusion Network Editor is a Distribution Network Information System designed to accurately model connected networks. It enables utility companies (electric, gas & water) to manage their distribution network today and progress with the data modeling demands of the future.

DQA—Data Quality Agent
What is DQA?
DQA is a .NET™ based Fusion™ plug-in that dynamically identifies data anomalies, and suggests potential resolution scenarios. The validation rules and anomaly resolution algorithms can be customized to fit the utility’s needs.
Why DQA?
The Data Quality Agent is designed to reduce the time spent by GIS technicians in the validation and correction of their work. This interactive tool informs the technician of data anomalies the instant they are created.
By doing so, the data anomalies can be corrected by the technician, as soon as they are detected by DQA.

Network Analysis
Network Analysis is used to analyse the connectivity status of the
equipment—channels and devices—that make up the distribution network of
your organization. This analysis is done by running a trace, which
displays the connectivity of a network by means of a highlighting effect.

Theme editor
Theme Editor is a Fusion™ plug-in that enables the user community to define thematic views of the Fusion database content, based on the needs of each user group. Defined thematic views are available to be used with all Fusion plug-ins installed on any given Fusion workstation.

Reporting
Reporting is a module that allows you write, share and run queries on your data to validate and to interogate the content of your Fusion GIS database. The results can be displayed in a viewer, a tabular grid, a browser or exported in other data formats to view them externally.
Here is a short list of data analysis where Fusion Reporting delivers exceptional results:
- Connectivity anomaly detection (Parallel feed, loops, de-energized sections, phase dégradation conditions, etc.)
- Feature relationships analysis (customer to transformer, overhead equipment to pole, underground equipment to vault, etc.)
- Construction standards analysis (overhead to underground connections, wire size and connected equipment, equipment type and pole class, invalid span length, etc.)
- Spatial analysis (invalid equipment placement, overlapping feature detection, etc.)
- Other data quality verifications (missing mandatory values, incompatible attribute values, missing mandatory annotations, etc.)
Fusion being based on Oracle Spatial, you have access to all the Oracle spatial functions to analyse your data.
