Intergraph G/Technology® solution aids in planning, design, construction and operations
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., June 4, 2015 – ESB Networks Ltd., the licensed operator of the electricity distribution system in the Republic of Ireland, has implemented a geographic information system (GIS) built upon Intergraph G/Technology® to support the planning, design, construction and day-to-day operations of Ireland’s electricity distribution network.
The Intergraph GIS serves as a single enterprise solution for the full life-cycle management of ESB Networks’ network assets, improving workflow efficiencies and integrating seamlessly with other business-critical systems. The new system went live this week following a three-year delivery project.
“The delivery of our new GIS system has been a huge team effort from all the parties involved and provides a highly integrated, modern solution which will serve the expanding and challenging requirements of the ESB Networks business over the coming years” said John Gallagher, IT delivery manager, ESB Networks. “We can now face the challenges of the future safe in the knowledge that we have a state of the art and future proofed solution in place.”
An Intergraph customer for 20 years, ESB Networks had previously developed a highly bespoke Intergraph FRAMME-based solution to meet the specific workflows the utility company’s business users required. ESB Networks determined to upgrade to a new G/Technology-based system and contracted Intergraph and its partners, Irish Mapping & GIS Solution Limited (IMGS) and Rolta U.K. Limited in 2012 to deliver the project following a highly competitive procurement process. The selection was based on the Intergraph team’s demonstration of an understanding of the solutions complexity, the ability of the technology to meet the utility company’s requirements and the team’s commitment to deliver.
“The Intergraph team is honored to serve ESB Networks in its efforts to ensure reliable electricity distribution in the Republic of Ireland,” said Alun Pearsey, U.K. country manager, Intergraph Security, Government and Infrastructure (SG&I). “This major enterprise information system implementation is the culmination of a global collaboration and partnership between ESB Networks and its vendor team.”
“IMGS were delighted to support Intergraph in the implementation of a national next-generation GIS for ESB Networks,” said Ciaran Kirk, general manager, IMGS. “This next generation GIS will streamline existing ESB Network workflows and provide unheralded levels of integration between the GIS and ESB’s core business systems to ensure ESB can meet the challenges of providing a smarter 21st century electric grid.”
The solution features Intergraph’s G!NIUS electricity data model with additional customizations to meet the advanced business workflows ESB had configured in FRAMME. Taking advantage of the latest in web services technologies, including Intergraph’s SAP integration module, the project featured a tremendous level of integration, integrating fully with SAP asset, work and customer management systems; Oracle outage management system and Synergee network modeling system. The new Intergraph GIS solution enables ESB Networks to manage the network in three views simultaneously – geographic, geo-schematic and ortho-schematic – through a single system.
