LAFAYETTE, CA – January 6, 2009 - Utility Integration Solutions, Inc. (UISOL), the utility industry business integration specialist, announced today the expansion of its outage management systems (OMS) consulting and integration practice within its Smart Grid Integration division headed by UISOL Senior Vice President Terry Nielsen.
A member of the Oracle Partner Program, UISOL now includes over a dozen industry experts with hands
on integration and deployment experience with OMS software from a wide range of vendors including
Oracle (formerly CES), ABB, Intergraph, GE and Milsoft. Through the application of smart business
integration, UISOL has helped more than 40 utility industry companies improve service and reliability
performance with effective systems integration and business process management.
As a group, the UISOL team of outage management experts has participated in the delivery of OMS
systems to over 60 utilities around the world and team members have been individually involved in OMS
system deployments to 16 of the top 30 investor-owned utilities in North America. UISOL Chief
Technology Officer Scott Neumann and Terry Nielsen are both members of the original founding
management team of the former CES International (now Oracle).
Since 2007, UISOL has been engaged in an ongoing OMS services and maintenance support contract
with Kansas City Power & Light (KCPL), a subsidiary of Great Plains Energy. Previously, UISOL
supported the delivery of integration services between KCPL’s Oracle OMS and its Intergraph mobile
work management system.
“KCPL has engaged UISOL on several Outage Management System (OMS) enhancement projects.
UISOL was a significant contributor to the success of those projects,” said Stephen Diebold, Manager
Real-time Systems at KCP&L. “Not only does UISOL have a staff rich in OMS experience, they
demonstrated strong project management acumen,” he added.
UISOL Senior Vice President Smart Grid Integration Terry Nielsen concluded, “UISOL continues to add
some of the best and brightest OMS system experts in the industry to its growing team. As the utility
industry evolves to embrace expanded real-time distribution system modeling and simulation, UISOL is
well positioned to support its clients as they seek to upgrade current systems and deploy additional
capabilities in support of smart grid initiatives.”
