• Implemented System shall be an Integrated One – not ‘Integrateable’ one
• A partner with strong utility business expertise to implement the system
• The implementation must follow operation and maintenance, training & knowledge transfer at a comfortable pace.
• Change Implement-Handhold-AMC to Implement-Maintain-Transfer
• Keep partner to cool off the change

21
Approach - Infrastructure
• The state-of-the-art Data Centre is planned, developed and commissioned.
• High reliability servers specifically sized for each of the applications are deployed
• Series of In-house testing of applications before deployment in the Data Centre
• Extensive Training programme for the Core Users end users
• Gradually depleting Hand holding of Users for introduction to the system is planned
