Is Your System Up to the Task?

摘要

Green Mountain Power credits its integrated outage management system for reducing power outage durations after a brutal winter storm. GREEN MOUNTAIN POWER WAS ADVISED THAT A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM UPGRADE is typically implemented in several phases over the course of two or more years. However, the utility chose to expedite the migration process and targeted deployment within one year. Green Mountain Power (Colchester, Vermont, U.S.) completed its GIS upgrade in early fall 2008, in part to expand its outage management system (OMS) functionality. The migration team worked doggedly since project kickoff the prior November. The implementation pace soon had team members wondering if they'd taken on more than they could handle. However, when an ice storm in December 2008 arrived, they realized they had made the right decision to race to deployment.
