Utility Partners Recognizes SCT with Certified Interface Partner Award

 

TAMPA, FL – (Feb. 20, 2001) - Utility Partners, Inc., a leading software solutions provider for the utility and distribution enterprise industries, has recognized SCT, a leading provider of global information technology solutions, with its Certified Interface Partner Award. The award commemorates SCT's recent productized interface partnership with Utility Partners and celebrates the companies' many years of successful collaboration. 

SCT and Utility Partners recently teamed up to create a mobile dispatch interface for SCT Banner's Customer Information System. SCT Banner is a client/server solution that runs on a variety of application servers and desktop machines simultaneously.  Compatible across multiple platforms and operating system environments, SCT Banner offers flexibility, scalability, and optimum responsiveness to change.  Utility Partners' MobileUP standard interface allows SCT Banner to directly add orders to and take completion and status data from interim tables using an ODBC connection. 

 "Integrating the world-class SCT Banner Customer Information System solution with UP's MobileUP provides the mobile dispatch capability that distribution companies of all sizes have been looking for," said Jim Kennedy, Senior Vice President of Utility Partners.  "The combined products can be installed "out of the box" for immediate utility customer benefits and instant return on investment, or can be customized to fit unique customer needs. Whatever regulatory environment the company finds itself in -- competitive, regulated, or re-regulated -- this combined solution will revolutionize the distribution business."

"With this product interface, we can offer our customers one of the most comprehensive solutions available for managing all types of utility distribution work activities," said John Gregg, President of SCT's global, energy, utilities and communications solutions division. "Utilities now have the tools to control and optimize most work processes -- from service work to more complex work, from the first customer call to the completion of work activities."
