Europe’s Largest Power Transmission Company Selects NetCracker’s Telecom Operations and Management Solution to Automate Systems, Boost Quality of Service, and Drive Expansion
WALTHAM, MA. June 28, 2012. NetCracker Technology announced today that Réseau de Transport d’Electricité (RTE) has selected NetCracker’s Telecoms Operations and Management Solution (TOMS) to boost the performance, efficiency, and service quality of its infrastructure. RTE is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and development of France’s high voltage power transmission system. The company’s mission-critical nature is underscored by the fact that it not only distributes electricity throughout France, but is also an essential link in the European electricity market. With approximately 100,000 kilometers in its network, RTE operates the largest electric transmission system in Europe and is also Europe’s largest exporter of electricity.
“RTE is undertaking a major transformation to next-generation systems and infrastructure to increase the guarantee of reliability of the French power system,” stated Michel Avignon, Project Director, SI TCM-TCD at RTE. “NetCracker’s highly integrated and feature-rich TOMS solution will enable us to consolidate and automate multiple technologies, increase the efficiency of our business operations and looking to the future plan and execute strategic expansions.”
“We are looking forward to partnering with RTE on this important transformation project,” said Andrew Feinberg, NetCracker’s President and CEO. “Not only have we carried out the largest number of transformations in the industry, but also we bring extensive domain-specific knowledge and experience to RTE through the projects we have completed with other major power utilities, helping them to improve their core operations and business results.”
Drawing on its infrastructure optimization solutions, NetCracker will provide RTE with an integrated, end-to-end view of its infrastructure and resources along with highly accurate data, which will enhance decision making, automate end-to-end operations, and improve service quality. The solution will provide comprehensive functionality for planning, designing, and developing infrastructure changes and upgrades.
