ABB delivers advanced asset management solution to Australian electricity companies

Tuesday, 15 May, 2012

Power and automation technology group ABB has signed an agreement with SPARQ Solutions, the IT services provider for Australian electricity distributors Energex and Ergon Energy.

Under the terms of the agreement, SPARQ has licensed Ellipse 8, the latest release of the Ventyx enterprise asset management (EAM) and resource planning (ERP) solution. The solution will manage Energex and Ergon Energy’s assets, work scheduling, human resources, finance and supply chain. ABB’s Ventyx software portfolio bridges the gap between information technologies (IT) and operational technologies (OT).

SPARQ has also adopted the Ventyx business intelligence solution Focal Point, which will provide greater visibility and efficiency in network management and field-work management activities, according to ABB. These features will be particularly important for Energex and Ergon Energy during summer storm seasons, when there is significant risk of damage to installations and equipment.

“We believe the combined capability of ABB’s extended portfolio provides a unique value proposition - pairing industry-leading information technology and operations technology solutions, all under one roof. Just as significantly, ABB’s open solution can easily interoperate with our current IT environment,” said Peter Effeney, CEO of SPARQ Solutions.
