FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Utility Partners Recognizes SCT
with Certified Interface Partner Award
TAMPA, FL. February 20, 2001 - BUSINESS WIRE - Utility Partners,
Inc., a leading software solutions provider for the utility and
distribution enterprise industries, has recognized SCT, a leading
provider of global information technology solutions, with its Certified
Interface Partner Award. The award commemorates SCT's recent productized
interface partnership with Utility Partners and celebrates the companies'
many years of successful collaboration.
SCT and Utility Partners recently teamed up to create a mobile
dispatch interface for SCT Banner's Customer Information System.
SCT Banner is a client/server solution that runs on a variety of
application servers and desktop machines simultaneously. Compatible
across multiple platforms and operating system environments, SCT
Banner offers flexibility, scalability, and optimum responsiveness
to change. Utility Partners' MobileUP standard interface allows
SCT Banner to directly add orders to and take completion and status
data from interim tables using an ODBC connection.
"Integrating the world-class SCT Banner Customer Information
System solution with UP's MobileUP provides the mobile dispatch
capability that distribution companies of all sizes have been looking
for," said Jim Kennedy, Senior Vice President of Utility Partners.
"The combined products can be installed "out of the box"
for immediate utility customer benefits and instant return on investment,
or can be customized to fit unique customer needs. Whatever regulatory
environment the company finds itself in -- competitive, regulated,
or re-regulated -- this combined solution will revolutionize the
distribution business."
"With this product interface, we can offer our customers one
of the most comprehensive solutions available for managing all types
of utility distribution work activities," said John Gregg,
President of SCT's global, energy, utilities and communications
solutions division. "Utilities now have the tools to control
and optimize most work processes -- from service work to more complex
work, from the first customer call to the completion of work activities."
