Our holistic approach to next-generation outage management seamlessly integrates evolving data sources and applications (e.g., social media mining and smart grid analytics) with core systems (traditional outage management systems such as OMS, DMS and ADMS) with IT systems. This integration and the additional capabilities it makes accessible, enable utilities to leapfrog the limitations imposed by existing power technologies. This approach forms the foundation of OMNETRIC’s next-generation outage management solution.
