What Our Customers Say

"The team at GEOGRAPH offers excellent customer service! As a new user of CrescentLink software, I contacted them several times for support. I found the team to be informative, positive, and generous with their time. They always offered me the opportunity to schedule a Zoom meeting to walk me through any steps that were required to resolve issues. I would recommend GEOGRAPH and CrescentLink to anyone who works in Utility Mapping."

"Before using CrescentLink, it would take over twice as long to create routes and trace fiber connections to find hit locations. Our maps were without scale, proposed routes lacked detail, and Electronic Central Offices (ECOs) were created outside of the program at 10x slower speed. Now, I can’t imagine life without Project Planner. The ability to create ECOs for splicing through is a must – and the support I get from GEOGRAPH is second to none."

"As a network analyst at Okanogan PUD, I’m responsible for creating the methods of procedure (MOP) that guide our technicians in completing fiber builds. In the year and a half we’ve been using CrescentLink by GEOGRAPH, it’s been intuitive, easy to use, has improved our record-keeping, and has sped up the time it takes to create MOPs to push fiber further out. Without CrescentLink, it would be so much more difficult to do new builds and over-builds."

"We wanted a platform built with a fiber optic plant mindset to take projects from planning and staking to management and record keeping. With CrescentLink, we can easily access our splicing records and available options for our SCADA network. I couldn’t be happier with the support we’ve received from GEOGRAPH. CrescentLink helps us provide our members with a cost-efficient, reliable, high-quality fiber optic network."

"As a GIS Analyst, I help our communications team document and display assets in the field. CrescentLink has been so helpful in this process because it lets us spatially show where fiber is running, where splice points are located, and the availability in each cable. I’ve been using CrescentLink for around 3 years and have found this tool to be a great asset. GEOGRAPH is always quick to respond and help us understand everything CrescentLink can do to help us in our process."

"Our GIS team was tasked with documenting all our fiber cables in GIS and we drew in over 140 miles of cable using CrescentLink software. The GEOGRAPH team including DJ Henrique, Brett Giblin, and Grey Pittman went out of their way to answer any and all questions. They also helped me install our enterprise geodatabase in record time! I can sum up this experience in one word: success. That success came from the combined effort of a wonderful relationship with GEOGRAPH, Futura Systems, and our GIS team here at HMP&L"

A: Esri has already started the depreciation (phase out) process for ArcGIS Desktop with a scheduled retirement date of March 1, 2026. The platform is currently in the mature support stage, meaning no new software updates or patches will be made available to users. The transition to Esri’s next generation platform, ArcGIS Pro, will eventually be required to continue using Esri ArcGIS. This would then also require a transition from CrescentLink for ArcGIS Desktop to CrescentLink for ArcGIS Pro.

Q: What benefits will my team see from using CrescentLink for Desktop?

A: Our users love the efficiency and precision they gain with CrescentLink for Desktop. From planning and design to data analysis and optimized performance, expect to see:
