Abilene, TX February 12, 2013 Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative (EC) in Jordan,
Minnesota, has chosen Milsoft Electric Utility Solutions Geographic Information System (GIS Software).
Minnesota Valley EC, which was already using Milsoft Electric Utility Solutions Engineering Analysis,
Outage Management Software and IVR Communications Software, has added Milsoft GIS to complete
its Milsoft Engineering and Operations System. As the demands on our electric distribution system
become greater and more complex, we must have the best possible software tools, said VP of
Engineering Services Marvin Denzer, Milsoft GIS will enable us to create and maintain the detailed
network model and network facilities data that we need for planning, operations and management.
Milsoft GIS Software is used by 150 electric utilities for electric utility mapping and asset data
management. The powerful yet easy to use software is fully integrated with ESRI Geographic
Information Software tools. It is unique in its capability to create and maintain the data required for a
detailed electric network circuit model. Milsoft Geographic Information Software provides the data
capture, management and display capabilities that a utility needs to maximize the many benefits of
using GIS.
