All of these organisation hold some kind of digital mapping of their networks for their own operational purposes. The co-ordination of information relating to utility and netwrok assests is crucial not only within the business itself, but across the various organisations active in this sector, such as: telecoms, electric, water and gas. Benefits from co-ordination include more effective operations, where sharing of information will lead to less damage to overhead lines, underground cables and pipelines; more efficient planning for the provsion of supply to new building sites and developments; and a more co-ordinated approach to street digging and road works avoiding unnecessary disruption to transportation.

The Utilities and Networks group have utilised the infrastructure of the Mosaic Pilots to leverage substantial benefits by sharing their network information online. Data is presented within an online password controlled GIS which includes pdf printing, address searching and querying functionality.
