Utility Partners Announces Browser-Based Flexible Templates in MobileUP
 

TAMPA, FL – (October 11, 2000) – Utility Partners, Inc. announced today new features in their MobileUP™ product. The announcement included the addition of browser deployable field clients and flexible work templates to Version 6.0 of MobileUP™.

Utility Partners' MobileUP Product Manager, Kevin Graham, made the announcement. "Utility Partners has built and continues to enhance MobileUP™ for the electric, natural gas and water utility industry. As part of continual feature rich enhancements, UP clients can now take field processing to multiple field devices and build work types that match their specific requirements," stated Graham.

Graham added "These additions will significantly enhance the benefit to Utility Partners' MobileUP customers by increasing their choices."

"Utilizing XML and XSL inside of MobileUP will allow the client flexibility with the presentation logic as well as the screen flows. Additionally within the flexible client-designed screens, the user is allowed to apply algorithms to fields for validations within fields or between fields. These features provide each client the flexibility to meet their specific business needs and objectives," stated Dan Homrich, Utility Partners' Vice President of Development for MobileUP™.

Graham emphasized, "These new features will enable MobileUP clients to deploy their work force utilizing web technology. In addition, it will allow the client to configure the user presentation, apply user defined edit rules, and create work flow processing in a flexible environment to take the client's business where it needs to go today and where it wants to go tomorrow."

Product Information

Utility Partners' MobileUP™ is divided into two major modules: MobileDispatch and MobileField. Both modules comprise a feature-rich, fully integrated mobile data system capable of scheduling, routing, dispatching and completing system-generated or regulatory-required service, outage, maintenance/inspection and construction work.

MobileDispatch

    MobileUP's versatile MobileDispatch module allows dispatchers to respond immediately to field situations by enabling the fast reallocation of available resources qualified to work the order. MobileDispatch makes this possible by querying the current assignment status of all service technicians within a certain geographical area, and comparing the skill sets of technicians from a table-driven database to determine the technician(s) best qualified to perform the work.

MobileField

    MobileField allows the field user to view and capture information related to the work. Various features and options support the work process, providing for the efficient and safe collection of the information.

Bob Letzeisen, Utility Partners' Vice President of Sales said "Prospective MobileUP Clients should contact their account representative at Utility Partners to discuss special year 2000 fourth quarter pricing for MobileUP, including these new features."
