Industry deregulation and competition make it even more important to manage and operate the network. Distribution management and Outage management are the key words here. Your GIS needs to have proper interfaces to both Distribution Management Systems (DMS) and Outage Management Systems (OMS). UT Integrator is geared to interface to those systems as well as the underlying SCADA technology. Here AED-SICAD benefits from its long-going business relationship with Siemens. There is no special GIS-based OMS product. UT Integrator enables utility dispatchers to use the outage database and to analyze and map customer calls with respect to the GIS network. Problems related to the network will be passed back to the Work Management System, e.g. SAP, and field crews are dispatched for repair. When the repair work is finished, information is passed back to SAP, and finally to the GIS where it can be displayed properly.
