Ocala Electric Utility Migrates to the ArcFM™ 9.1 Solution and Initiates Mobile Designer Project
Fort Collins, CO -- Ocala Electric Utility (OEU), a municipal utility serving 50,000 customers in Marion County, FL, has successfully migrated from ArcFM 8.3.2 to the ArcFM 9.1 Solution. OEU is the first Miner & Miner client to place the latest release of the ArcFM 9.1 solution into production.
Ocala Electric Utility has been a user of Miner & Miner technology since 2001 and decided to upgrade to the most current version for better support of business requirements. By utilizing the updated system, the utility will be able to better manage, integrate, and maintain its data.
OEU has also chosen to implement Designer for both desktop and mobile users to improve the asset management and design process of its distribution assets. Prior to this decision, the utility used a custom-built work order system to facilitate the design process. The Designer project kickoff occurred mid-June 2005 and rollout is scheduled for December 2005. Ultimately, Designer will be deployed to both engineer and design technicians in the field.
Rob Rotella, OEU Project Manager, says, “Designer will increase the efficiency of operations and give us a better system for tracking jobs. We are excited about the ability to eliminate redundancy by utilizing a streamlined solution.”
