Trimble NIS Implementation Successful at Finland’s Largest Electricity Distribution Company

4/3/2015

 
The implementation project for the Trimble NIS network information system has reached a successful conclusion at the electricity distribution company Caruna in Finland. The delivery project began in June 2014 and was completed in February 2015 within the scheduled eight months.
The delivery expanded the software solution for long-term electricity network planning Caruna had previously acquired from Trimble. Trimble NIS is now Caruna's main system for performing tasks related to network planning and maintenance. The delivery also included software for network investment management, enabling Caruna's investment programs to be managed and individual investment projects to be planned, monitored and analyzed.

− By investing in the electricity network and maintenance, we are able to meet the increased reliability requirements of the Electricity Market Act, even in the event of challenging weather conditions, says Sauli Antila, Caruna's Head of Network Development.

− We consider the implementation of the new network information system to be a business improvement project, not an IT project. Thanks to the rapid implementation, we are able to ensure efficient asset management and the ramp-up of investment levels, Antila continues.

The implementation project for the new network information system was prioritized at the highest level within Caruna.

− The key factors in the completion of the project within the budgeted costs and to a very tight schedule were Trimble's standard applications and the strong commitment of both parties to the delivery plan, says Mikael Mickelsson, Caruna's IT Development Manager.

− In terms of the scale of the delivery and schedule, this implementation project was unique. I would like to thank the numerous people involved in the project from both organizations, says Regional Sales Manager Jukka Leppänen from Trimble.
