ArcFM™ UT manages technical data of the network. Whereas ERP systems, e.g. SAP, handle financial and business related network information. This combination of information systems assures an efficiency increase when querying, analyzing and managing the data. The basis for all system integration in ArcFM™ UT is the UT Integrator.
The UT Integrator acts as a middleware between ArcFM™ UT and other applications, enabling continuous and transparent data exchange in the background. It supports asynchronous data entry, i.e. not every system has to be available 100% of the time, which is usually the case in large utilities. The UT Integrator is completely based in Java.
There are different adapters available for different systems, not just ERP but also other business information systems, such as e.g. Oracle Financials. With an adaptor to SAP, the connection to one of the most popular ERP systems in the utility industry is supported in an optimum way. Also any other software can use UT Integrator as a data exchange tool in a heterogeneous environment.
Your advantages are:
• Simpler data management by switching between GIS and SAP
• Fast presentation of GIS and SAP data with a simple mouse click
• Integration processes support asynchronous data-entry in a multi-user environment
• Time is saved by entering data in one application
• A lot of time is saved by information retrieval from one application to another
