iFactor Consulting and GeoSpatial Innovations continue Austin Energy PowerOn upgrade

Jamie Downing — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 19:41:40 +0000

iFactor Consulting has partnered with GeoSpatial Innovations (GSI) to deliver a system upgrade of PowerOn OMS to version 4.2 for Austin Energy. The system upgrade will be based on the Electric Office (EO) data model which will provide Austin the most up to date solution available for PowerOn OMS customers.

iFactor has completed the discovery and design phases of the project and has started development. During this phase, the project team will review the EO system, developed by GSI, and incorporate it with the PowerOn system glue code. Applications, configurations, customizations and interfaces in the current Austin Energy system will be incorporated into the new system to best meet the current business needs. Finally, iFactor will install much of new PowerOn 4.2 functionality. The new functions will be reviewed with Austin Energy to ensure that the utility is prepared to leverage all aspects of the new version that are applicable to their workflow.

The development phases of the project, which include the upgrade of the core GIS, are expected to wrap up this fall with testing and rollout activities to follow.

Finally, iFactor will review the new capabilities of PowerOn 4.2 with Austin Energy to ensure that the design leverages all aspects of the new version that are applicable to Austin’s workflow.

The discovery and design phases of the project, which include the upgrade of the core GIS, are expected to wrap up in May. At this point system development will commence immediately.
