Infotech Enterprises ‘E-GIS’ Implementation wins the prestigiou
At
NDPL, Infotech has fully implemented their geographical information
system (GIS) and integrated it with their business and distribution
management systems. EGIS has thus become a reliable source of
information to provide data for operations, commercial, planning and
asset management. The data is always updated on a real time basis
which gives the right information at the right time for better and
more efficient decision making.
Commenting
on the occasion, Dr. B.V.R. Mohan Reddy, Chairman and Managing
Director, Infotech Enterprises Limited said, “It is a matter
of pride for Infotech Enterprises that NDPL’s EGIS
Implementation has won the GITA Excellence Award. It is a
great way of recognizing our commitment to our
customers and our pursuit of excellence. It is a reward for our deep
domain expertise and leadership in GIS and reinforces
the strong relationship we enjoy with NDPL”.
The
project, which leads the field in the electric distribution utility
industry, was centred on interfacing and integrating GIS with
other systems of the company encompassing all key business processes.
This unique and innovative usage includes, but is not limited
to, Capital Expenditure Management, Asset Management,
Operations and Maintenance Management and Commercial Management.
The
key challenges faced by NDPL included imprecise legacy data -
addresses created over several decades , inadequate space to
create a proper distribution infrastructure, and poor customer data
in terms of billing and operational details. The other
business challenges faced by NDPL were around reducing AT&C
losses, new connections, planning and asset management.
