Huntsville, AL (Vocus) February 21, 2008 — Intergraph Corp. is bringing the benefits of its proven utility outage management, workforce management and geospatial information system (GIS) technology to rural and small utilities and electric cooperatives (co-ops) through packaged solutions that are cost-effective for the smaller utility market.

By adding new packaged offerings for smaller organizations to its portfolio, Intergraph is now able to provide utilities of all sizes — from the smallest to the largest — with end-to-end solutions for the design and operations of the utility distribution network.

Intergraph sets itself apart in the industry by offering customized vertical solutions for the utilities market. Intergraph assists utilities with a full line of best practice solutions tailored for specific sectors - electric, gas, pipelines, water/wastewater and communications. In addition to providing technologies for automating and better managing outage response and day-to-day work management, Intergraph also supports the planning, engineering analysis, work order design, mapping and asset and maintenance records for a utility’s infrastructure.

“As energy and customer service demands continue to rise, smaller utilities and co-ops are faced with the same issues that challenge larger providers,” said Jay Stinson, vice president of Intergraph Utilities & Communications. “Just as large utilities require intuitive technologies to automate the management of their workforce, assets, infrastructure and outage/dispatch procedures, small providers also demand these solutions to increase efficiency, improve service and cut costs. Intergraph has been helping utilities achieve these goals for decades, and we are now well-positioned to extend our solutions to fit the needs of smaller-sized organizations.”

“To better serve our customers, Cobb EMC has implemented a comprehensive solution of outage management, workforce management, mobile and GIS technologies from Intergraph,” said Sam Newman, Manager, Geospatial Resource Management at Cobb Electric Membership Corporation (Cobb EMC), an electric membership cooperative in Georgia. “By integrating these technologies, we have been able to significantly streamline work processes and enhance service efficiency.”

“By working with Intergraph, Franklin PUD has created a fully digitized system for managing district facilities and our electrical grid that is every bit as sophisticated and powerful as systems used by much larger utilities,” said Zan Strausz, GIS Lead of the Franklin County Public Utility District (PUD), a non-profit electric utility serving about 26,000 accounts in the state of Washington. “The system has greatly simplified the way our various departments access, share and analyze critical information, leading to better decision-making and service while saving time and money.”

Intergraph’s outage and workforce management technology and full line of GIS solutions customized for the utilities industry are complemented by an integrated mobile application that combines engineering tools, workforce management and field force automation technology to provide a common, wireless platform for all types of utility field work. The mobile application can be leveraged across various functions including but not limited to outage management, damage assessment, meter reading, field design, critical infrastructure protection, maintenance and repair, inspection and compliance.

Alongside these key technologies, Intergraph’s web portal application provides utilities employees, customers and the public real-time, online access to geospatial data from disparate sources. By aggregating key data in one place, the Intergraph portal enables better, more informed decision-making. Intergraph’s portal capabilities also extend organizations’ traditional business intelligence efforts by providing the capability to view, manage and analyze data in a geospatial context.

“We’ve been using the Intergraph product to organize, easily access and disseminate up-to-date spatial information about our electric distribution system,” said Michael Holcomb, Assistant General Manager of Distribution & Engineering at the Snohomish County Public Utility District, located north of Seattle. “Today, we have implemented multiple technologies district-wide to empower field personnel, customer service representatives and others throughout the organization to respond more quickly and accurately to customer needs.”

“In 2003, Empire turned to Intergraph to help us better manage day-to-day network operations, enhance crew responsiveness and reduce restoration time during power outages,” said Rick Wallace, Director of OMS/GMS Operations at The Empire District Electric Company in southwest Missouri. “Through a combination of Intergraph mapping, outage management, mobile workforce management and infrastructure management technologies, we’ve enabled our entire organization - from engineers, designers, field crews and customer service agents - to perform their jobs more efficiently and effectively. This has resulted in significant cost savings and a marked improvement in the service we provide to our 165,000 electric customers in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.”

Sterling, VA (PRWEB), February 22, 2008 — Unanet Technologies, a developer of services automation software that helps organizations manage people and projects for improved profitability, has released Version 9.0 of its market leading project tracking and portfolio management solution.

The new release offers significant enhancements designed to help improve the performance of government contractors and other project-driven services organizations. Key new features include:
* calculation and reporting of direct and indirect project costs in real-time, including definition of cost elements, pools and cost structures.
* enhancements to Earned Value (EVMS) to support Federal Government reporting requirements on project cost and schedule status.
* new project portfolio management capabilities - project probability for opportunities in the pipeline can be taken into account in forecasting resource utilization and commitments as well as revenue.
* new ways to control access to billing rates and budgets to ensure that only authorized staff have access to project cost, revenue and billing data while still providing needed project status information.
* resource management enhancements to automate schedule maintenance and reducing effort in maintaining accurate time-phased resource loading data.
The new project costing functionality is particularly significant in that it provides a realtime-view of project profitability and remaining funding taking into account all direct and indirect costs, and also avoids the need of a specialized accounting system to generate such reports. Eight new reports provide authorized users with multiple, real-time views of project costs, fee and revenue.

Fran Craig, Unanet President and CEO, commented, “This new release reflects our continued commitment to innovation in delivering solutions for project services driven organizations. More than 500 customers are realizing the benefits of Unanet services automation software to reduce administrative costs and increase management insight, thereby improving profitability.”

London, UK (PRWEB) February 22, 2008 — People who want to build a site and create an income on-line but don’t know how are now in luck. Happar.com will be releasing their revolutionary software product called M.E. which is an acronym for “monetization engine”. The first ever monetization engine for the masses. Anyone can now monetize themselves, their ideas or interests on the Internet in as little as 10 minutes.

“We want to help people tap into the literal river of money flowing under their noses in their Internet connection,” said Paul Coskun, creator of M.E. “We have found there are a lot of make money on-line scams out there that give you content, but what they don’t tell you is that you need to bring traffic to that content to make any money. M.E does this automatically.”

M.E Helps People Access Global Economy

One of the most powerful features of M.E is that it allows the user to translate its pages into other languages in the fly. This means that whatever the user decides to place in M.E can be accessed and bought by people in other countries and exponentially increases traffic to their site as well. This is especially helpful for Americans who are burdened with the declining dollar and need to appeal to other countries and their stable economies and currencies to survive inflationary pressures.

“My site is still earning me over $1000 bucks per month, enough to pay for my monthly installments on my car loan and plenty of beer on the weekends, not bad for a few hours work,” says Kiernan Cranley, one of the beta-testers of M.E. “What excites me most is the traffic building capabilities that Happar M.E quickly proved to me. It makes my head spin when I think of the ways I can use this tool as a monetization engine and traffic building tool.”
