Electric Utility Office

GE Energy’s Electric Utility Office suite for electric transmission & distribution (ETO/EDO) is a comprehensive platform that provides geospatial support for the electric utility asset management lifecycle, from planning and design through replacement and refurbishing. It contains the underlying data models, industry applications, and productivity tools required to support the essential utility operations, including engineering design, network analysis, operations management, network asset management, and web-based clients.

The key components of ETO/EDO include:

Industry Standard Data Models
The standard data models in ETO/EDO supply a robust foundation for constructing and maintaining electric transmission, distribution, substation and underground networks. These data models have been developed in conjunction with industry subject matter experts and provide a supported base for the Office environment.

Electric Industry Applications
ETO/EDO provides several key applications that support the electric utility business process, such as standard mapping products, regulatory reporting tools, joint use management, network tracing and query applications, and QA/QC tools

Enterprise Application Integration
ETO/EDO customers can extend their enterprise by adding layered products that are pre-configured for integration with ETO/EDO, including GE Energy products as well as other leading industry solutions.

By delivering a comprehensive suite of data models, applications, and integration products, ETO/EDO effectively lowers the cost of ownership for any utility by eliminating the need to develop, test, and maintain a complex collection of applications and interfaces. Moreover, regularly scheduled ETO/EDO upgrades are straightforward and supported as part of maintenance and support, allowing companies to plan for and successfully incorporate upgrades in order to take advantage of future product enhancements.
