Energy and Utilities Customer Spotlight
Maine Public Service
Maine Public Service (MPS) provides regulated electric transmission and distribution services to 17 communities within the state of Maine. The company operates over 380 miles of transmission lines and 1,700 circuit miles of distribution lines within a 3,600 square mile area.
MPS brought OneNeck on board to improve operational efficiency, streamline internal procedures and create a solid foundation for implementing the company's long-term strategic projects.
In particular, MPS needed OneNeck to stabilize its ERP environment and eliminate application performance issues.
To accomplish MPS' goals, OneNeck upgraded the current Oracle application to version 11.5.10. Widely known in the industry as a complex and daunting project, OneNeck managed this upgrade smoothly and to a successful outcome.
"The OneNeck/Oracle solution was up against a tough, competitive field during the selection process, but their collective reputation was unmatched," said Michael Eaton, Vice President of IT for Maine Public Service. "Plus, we determined they were best suited to enter into a long-standing, trusting relationship with us. The quick and thorough Oracle 11.5.10 application and 10g database upgrade was no trivial task. The successful outcome of this project proves we made the right outsourcing decision."
