PelicanCorp to Showcase Advanced Ticket and One Call Management Solutions at CGA Conference & Expo 2025
From digging in the backyard to reconstructing roads and highways, the stakes can be high when deeper sods of dirt are turned. Without the right information, a digger or shovel could hit high-voltage wires. Game over. No wonder that utility companies and essential infrastructure services are so reliant on PelicanCorp to manage safe access to the huge volumes of data about where those cables lie.
PelicanCorp is a global leader in software services for the utilities and essential services industry. Best-known for its software and services for the ‘Dial Before You Dig’ services around the world, PelicanCorp’s global business is all about making lives safer. To do this, its software solutions give diggers safe access to data about cables, gas pipelines, sewers and more. As the company grew, it became evident that the on premises handling of this service would not cut it. PelicanCorp began its journey to cloud in 2007 by building its own cloud in a co-located data centre. Yet it wasn’t long before it outgrew that setup. By 2013, it had turned to Amazon Web Services (AWS) – and it has never looked back.
A More Cost-Effective Way to Serve the High-Risk Utility Market
The utility market is conservative and risk averse. Software vendors in this industry must commit to the highest levels of availability, reliability and security to serve their customers – which PelicanCorp was able to do in-house to a point. But global expansion was putting upwards pressure on the bottom line, with more racks of servers needed, plus all the other costs they entailed.
To bring costs down, PelicanCorp started shifting its software onto AWS in 2013 using Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) on Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). This gave it the ability to scale operations in new countries and establish points of presence around the globe – without having to buy the hardware. Its focus could shift from managing infrastructure to pursuing innovation.
From that simple starting point, PelicanCorp has progressively evolved its relationship with AWS, adding everything from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to store a permanent audit trail of everything the company has done for customers; to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for greater redundancy and availability; to Elastic Scaling Groups for automated infrastructure.
Today, PelicanCorp utilises a complex system of AWS servers – a framework of web, applications and databases, deployed behind load balancers in-country, with its own single sign-on, supporting digital marketplace, running 24/7, handling millions of enquiries, and supporting millions of tickets.
It’s impressive just how far PelicanCorp has come. But it is certainly not done yet. As Karl Geppert, Chief Development Officer, PelicanCorp, says, “The journey to cloud is simple to achieve but complex in its possibilities. We are on an endless quest to find new ways to leverage AWS technology to save money, and increase the scale, size, efficiency and reliability of what we offer.”
Going Serverless With AWS to Enable True Scalability
Indeed, PelicanCorp has recently completed a project with AWS to explore serverless. Geppert explains, “Our goal was to build development frameworks for our products so we can operate anywhere we can get value. Could we do this and install to all of our customers 1000 times in a week, and the week after?”
With AWS, the answer was yes. AWS worked side-by-side with PelicanCorp developers to build a solution that delivers reliability, speed, scalability, flexibility, cost and efficiency – all the key metrics that would ensurea strong future for the global software company. The solution includes a set of architecture proposals around serverless workflows, decoupled from the database, with every enquiry processed independently. The serverless solution ensures that PelicanCorp only ever pays for what it needs, while delivering on the demands of its risk-averse customer base.
Gaining the Freedom to Think Big
The move to AWS has paid off in spades for PelicanCorp. With this new serverless solution, the company is achieving 100 percent uptime by having new ephemeral instances on event-driven architecture. It now takes just 30 seconds to process hundreds of requests, compared to over three minutes previously.
PelicanCorp can now map expenses to demand, paying only for what it uses while having the peace of mind that the infrastructure it needs is guaranteed to be available. It has also experienced a reduction in operational overheads by eliminating the need to maintain its own servers.
As Geppert says, “We are forecasting five-fold savings in hosting costs, which translates to tens of thousands of dollars. More importantly, with AWS, we have the freedom to think big. Our development team can focus on new opportunities like leveraging digital subscription marketplaces, machine learning for damage prediction, and more.”

By combining Select Survey’s long-standing surveying expertise with LSBUD’s online search service, the new acquisition will unite both businesses in an effort to reduce and avoid utility strikes and its associated damages across the United Kingdom.
“After more than two decades of dedicated efforts in building and nurturing Select Surveys into a leading entity within the geospatial industry, we are pleased to announce an exciting new chapter in our journey,” said Deme Cordell, Director of Select Surveys. “LSBUD is a company that shares our unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of operatives, and protecting buried infrastructure across the UK.”
Select Surveys is focused on utility asset protection. Specializing in utility surveys (locates), the multidisciplined geospatial consultancy provides surveying and location-based services to the government, transport, construction, and energy sectors.
“This transition marks a significant milestone for Select Surveys and our valued clients,” said Cordell. “We believe that aligning with LSBUD will not only enhance our capabilities but also open up new avenues for growth and innovation. Our collective focus remains steadfast on expanding and refining our business operations, thereby creating enriching opportunities for our exceptional team members and delivering enhanced services to our loyal clientele.”
“As we embark on this new phase of our evolution, we express our gratitude to all those who have contributed to our success thus far,” Cordell continued. “We are confident that this strategic partnership will propel Select Surveys to even greater heights while continuing to uphold the standards of excellence that have defined us over the years.”
LSBUD helps protect over 1.9 million kilometers of the UK’s utility network from damage by immediately providing maps in response to over 15,000 free enquiries every day from people and organizations that are about to dig.
“We are delighted to have completed this deal as part of a strategic plan to extend LSBUD’s offering,” said Richard Broome, Managing Director of LSBUD. “Our previous growth and development have been organic, so this marks a step-change, a real statement of intent. It’s just the start of our plans to extend LSBUD’s role and reach. With the combined experience and expertise of both companies, and working closely with our new Select colleagues, this new chapter will help solidify LSBUD’s place as the UK’s most comprehensive safe digging service.”

Irvine, California – January 11, 2024
PelicanCorp, the global leader in the damage prevention industry, is excited to announce the Educational Affiliate Program for Geolantis.360, the next-generation cloud-powered high-precision utility mapping & management platform for contractors, locators and the utility industry. PelicanCorp is working with two companies, Bigman Geophysical and Blue Orb Technologies, to provide comprehensive training in North America. The shared goal is the further education of construction workers for the protection of crews and underground assets.
The premier GIS spatial mapping platform in the damage prevention industry, Geolantis.360™ is engineered to streamline workflows, enabling users to quickly and securely access and update data from the field or office, rather than delaying updates until users return to the office.

“The Educational Affiliate Program covers the latest technologies like Geolantis.360 that have the power to improve and support damage prevention efforts,” said Denny Michael, Chief Marketing Officer, PelicanCorp. “We’re excited to launch this program in the use of Geolantis’ cloud-based GIS and mapping capabilities. Technologies for our industry are rapidly advancing. We want to ensure everyone has access to effective training in their use.”
The Geolantis.360 cloud-based platform delivers:
- Easy mapping / surveying of assets

- Direct check of mapping results in the map window: What you see is what you get!
- Syncs data automatically to Geolantis.360 CLOUD interface and with all other Geolantis.360 mobile clients within the enterprise, allowing the export of data from any web-browser
“One of the features I love most about Geolantis.360 is the smooth and easy workflow from start to finish,” said Dan Bigman, President, Bigman Geophysical LLC. “You can put this software into practice almost immediately with new users and field technicians, even if they have no prior experience with GIS mapping. We decided to partner with PelicanCorp because of their focus on the customer experience, both from a service perspective and user interface. Focusing on what is right and useful for the customer is what Bigman Geophysical prides itself on and we found alignment in our mission with the people at PelicanCorp.”
Training sessions will cover all aspects of Geolantis.360, including how digital accuracy increases revenue while improving efficiency, the hidden benefits of EWL, and the biggest mistakes that result in lost opportunities for One Call members. The Educational Affiliate Program is designed to assist all stakeholders in understanding and staying mindful of procedures and best practices to significantly reduce the risk of damages while protecting our workplaces, communities, environment, and lives.
“I have helped several utilities and telecom companies build comprehensive solutions through GIS technology,” said Terry Brock, CEO and Founder, Blue Orb Technology. “Having correct information in the field on a real-time interval is key to safety for all involved. Geolantis.360 has proven to be a viable solution for utilities in collecting accurate data in the field and at the same time establishing work-force management. The real-time processing of the RTK GNSS in this software is particularly impressive. The elimination of post-processing GPS data is a complete time-saver and eliminates the massive learning curve of post-processing geo-located points. Through educational outreach, Blue Orb Technology is in a position to help PelicanCorp customers take full advantage of Geolantis.360 capabilities.”

The goal of the annual Expo remains the same, to facilitate and share the development of actionable insights the industry can use to help reduce damage to vital infrastructure.
Registration is open for the 2022 Common Ground Alliance online at https://cgaconference.com.
