Infotech Enterprises Earns Award For NDPL EGIS Implementation

Infotech Enterprises (IEL), a technology solutions provider with headquarters in Hyderabad, has successfully completed the implementation of Enterprise GIS (EGIS) at North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL). This implementation also won Infotech Enterprises the ‘GITA Excellence Award’ initiated by GITA-ANZ (Geospatial Information Technology Association, Australia & New Zealand).

At NDPL, Infotech has fully implemented its geographical information system (GIS) and integrated it with the company’s business and distribution management systems. EGIS has, thus, become a reliable source of information for NDPL to provide data for operations, commercial planning and asset management. The data is always updated on a real time basis, which gives the right information at the right time for better and more efficient decision making.

The implementation project was centred on interfacing and integrating GIS with other systems of the company encompassing all key business processes. This includes, but is not limited to, Capital Expenditure Management, Asset Management, Operations and Maintenance Management and Commercial Management.

The key challenges faced by NDPL included imprecise legacy data - addresses created over several decades, inadequate space to create a proper distribution infrastructure, and poor customer data in terms of billing and operational details.
