Sneak Preview: TEC's Utilities ERP Evaluation Center
|
Today's feature blog post offers you a preview of our soon-to-be-online Utilities ERP Evaluation Center. It also gives you a look at some of the special needs and challenges of the industries that comprise this sector such as electric power generators, network operators, power retailers, natural gas providers, steam and water supply providers, and sewage removal services.
Historically, electric utilities have employed different best-of-breed solutions for their Generation, Transmission, and Distribution units—but now, that's all changing. Today's second feature blog post looks at how the major vendors are all jockeying to be the first to develop a solid integrated solution for the electric utilities industry.
Check out today's feature white paper for a look at the economic, environmental, and regulatory issues facing US-based power utilities—particularly in light of the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
