WALTHAM, MA — May 19, 2010 — NetCracker Technology announced today that Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has selected NetCracker’s TOMS Solution as the core of their Telecommunication System Information Management program. Part of the US Department of Energy (DOE), Bonneville Power Administration operates a high-voltage transmission grid comprising more than 15,000 miles of lines and associated substations in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. It also markets more than a third of the electricity consumed in the Pacific Northwest.
Bonneville Power purchased NetCracker’s Planning & Design and Resource Inventory capabilities in an effort to streamline the planning, designing, installation, and management of their telecommunication system and associated circuits. The solution aims to modernize their resource management domain and enables stronger assurance capabilities. At the same time, the solution strives to streamline BPA’s workflow and business processes, improving operational efficiencies around planning capabilities and the speed and accuracy of processing modifications to the telecommunication system used to monitor and operate the transmission grid.
“Bonneville Power has been at the forefront of driving innovation in their business,” said Andrew Feinberg, President and CEO of NetCracker. “We are excited to be a part of a partnership that will deliver the benefits of next-generation infrastructure to BPA’s consumers.”
