Summary:PacifiCorp was struggling with a lack of the integrated facility information needed to deploy advanced outage-management, energy-management and other enterprise systems. The specific situation at PacifiCorp was the need to implement CADOPS, the newly purchased outage-management system from ABB across its service territory. A key requirement of the CADOPS implementation was accurate, intelligent data that would allow the company to realize the full value of the system. Discovering how to deploy the system successfully took time and effort. PacifiCorp accomplished the system deployment in 3 main stages: 1. an initial pilot deployment that clarified the major hurdles, 2. an assessment phase in which it developed technical strategies for clearing the hurdles the pilot had revealed, and 3. an ongoing, long-term system rollout for implementation across all PacifiCorp service territories.
