“Spectra OMS, a development partnership bewtween OSI and Powerco”

4.0
Nov 22, 2016
We have been using OSI Monarch SCADA sincw 2008 and are very satisfied with the product. Spectra OMS was built in a development partnership between OSI and Powerco. The Spectra system was put in to production before full development was completed. This was driven by a Powerco business requirement. Some functionality was left out of the product to manage delivery timelines. OSI gave a high level of support during the project to manage a number of bug fixes and issues. I don't believe it is fair to make judgements on implemetation as "go-live" dates were driven by Powerco to start using a somewhat immature product and the system has become more mature and stable over the last two years.

Emap, which is the geographical representation of the network model. This gives a great overall picture of what is happening across th electricity networks.

    The new systems is working well. We have not gained all of the functionality we expect to utilitize at this time, but that is duee ot internal resource limitatations and not the vendor.
