Business and Technology Strategies

 At Southern California Edison (SCE), our consultants have played the “Thought Leader” role and developed a “Day in the Life” strategic vision for a large electric utility. This vision translated into the strategy framework and acted as a guiding document for all technology and business process projects implemented at that utility to improve operational excellence. This utility hopes to achieve all strategic objectives set forth in the “Day in the Life” vision and become a model utility in the years to come. A simple to understand business and functional strategy developed for the client is shown in the banner as an illustration.

As an integral part of the day in the life framework, we have provided our expertise to developing the business imperative, business requirements, vendor selection, business architecture, and implementation for several key initiatives including: 

• Field Data Collection and Engineering Analysis
• Geographic Information System Strategies (GIS)
• Enterprise Work and Asset Management (EWAM)
• Graphical Design Tools (GDT)
• Compatible Unit Development
• Work Scheduling Optimization
• Wireless Field Tools

For each of the initiatives above, prior to the implementation of the state of art market solutions, we have done comprehensive analysis and re-engineering of the applicable business processes, work method standardization, work measurements through metrics, and finally optimal resource deployment strategies.

For the GIS technology development, we have provided our clients comprehensive consulting in several key groups including: Land base, data analysis, field data collection, data conflation/consolidation, and data integration services.
