IDS ACOS Network Management System
The liberalisation of the energy market has considerably increased the cost pressure on power supply companies; most lately, this pressure has been exacerbated through the incentive-based regulations. Given that there is a direct connection between the quality of supply networks and the investments in system management, grid expansion and upgrading, and service and maintenance works, it is important to synchronise these costs and the supply quality.
Against this background, energy suppliers require efficient and uniform solutions for the connection of technical and commercial domains even across system borders. With their ACOS NMS product suite, IDS offers tailor-made IT solutions for the power supply industry's core processes. Through a wide range of services, from advisory and consultancy services up to complete turnkey solutions, the ACOS NMS product suite enables power suppliers to successfully operate on the energy market.
