It even helps to improve system reliability and minimize outage duration. Now, KCBPU can more accurately model the system and track outages and disruptions. Nashville Electric Service generates BOMs as much as 80 percent faster and with much greater accuracy than its prior process. The new process helps to reduce the multiple rounds of quality checks to ensure the correct materials made it to job sites....

We’ll be able to do things like visualize every service connection without having to refer to tabular data. How does that help? For one thing, you can calculate loads on individual transformers more easily and reliably. And field crews can know exact equipment types and locations. That’s huge, especially when it comes to maintaining our underground network. —Ray Pearce GIS Project Manager Anchorage Municipal Light and Power Learn More or Purchase Access specialists worldwide who can provide product expertise, a deep understanding of your industry, and value that extends beyond your software....
