• Experienced increased operations costs due to large penalties for information inconsistencies among corporate systems
• Needed to maximize network reliability without increasing costs

CertaLogic product suite (Certa Platform, Certa GIS and Certa Service Reliability Analysis )

Results
• Able to assure information consistency across all systems which met their regulatory requirements; system was used to substantiate the true outage effects on individual consumers
• Improved SAIDI by 440% and SAIFI by 346%
• Reduced operations spending by 28%
