Habersham EMC Chooses Miner & Miner’s ArcFM
Member-owned cooperative seeks operational improvements with ArcFM
Fort Collins, CO -- Habersham Electric Membership Corporation (Habersham EMC), has chosen Miner & Miner’s (M&M) ArcFM™ Solution to help enhance their operational efficiency. Habersham EMC, a member-owned cooperative, serves over 30,000 accounts with 3,000 miles of line in Georgia’s northeast mountain region.
Habersham EMC previously operated their GIS through GenMap, an AutoCAD based system. They selected ArcFM as the most complete off-the-shelf solution available with the ability to meet their requirements without the need for significant customization.
The utility will enhance their efficiency by leveraging several of the interfaces and tools within the application. The ArcFM-Customer Information System (CIS) interface will eliminate the double entry of customer data, while the Multispeak-compliant Network Adapter interface with Milsoft distribution planning software will improve their ability to create models and analyze system performance. M&M’s QA tools will also aid in significantly reducing data errors.
The ArcFM implementation is the first step for Habersham in incorporating technology to improve overall operations. Once ArcFM has been fully implemented and all the data converted, Habersham will place the data on mobile units for use in the field.
The project began this March and is expected to be complete by September 2004. “We look forward to working with Miner & Miner and we anticipate ArcFM will help us improve our operations and processes,” said Matt Ward of Habersham EMC.
