Competitive business drivers have changed Florida Power Corporation`s (FPC`s) management of strategic technology deployments. The utility has re-evaluated many aspects of its business, using new methods and new tools. Delivery 2000, which supports FPC`s corporate vision, will be a key component in meeting the de-regulation and re-regulation challenges of the new millennium. FPC evaluated a variety of systems, or combinations of systems, with over 70 desirable interfaces. To minimize the overwhelming tasks of development, maintenance, and synchronization, FPC decided to use integrated off-the-shelf solutions. This approach changes the following: the methodology for studying and implementing new technology and processes, the justification approach and financial model, and the RFP and selection processes. Using integrated off-the-shelf solutions will have a dramatic effect on everyday operations and will shift the end-users` perspectives from customization to corporate conformity and the acceptance of evolving industry standards. This paper focuses on a segment of a larger suite of technology that is compartmentalized into modular deployments with incremental costs, benefits, and risks. It defines an integrated GIS/OMS/CAD with a goal of reduced service interruption, as measured by SAIDI results. It describes the study methods, financial analysis justification process, and the selected Integraph integrated solution.
