ODMS
Whether producing regulatory reports, planning capital projects, or validating billing, utilities need data they can trust and a simple way to access it. The challenge boils down to three basic issues: access, effort and accuracy. In many cases, information must be extracted from a proprietary SCADA database or from spreadsheets on various servers and drives. When data is collected and entered by hand, accuracy is questionable. And, when data is difficult to consolidate and format, processes can extend until information is beyond the date when it is meaningful for daily decision making or long-term planning.
