Intergraph geospatial software improves data quality and accuracy to enable
utilities to more efficiently manage and track thousands of power lines,
poles, pipes and other assets while reducing costs. Utilities around the world
rely on Intergraph for comprehensive utilities outage, asset and field force
management to ensure efficient operation, unified monitoring and control and
fast service restoration of distribution networks. E.ON Mitte is the fourth
E.ON company in Germany, following E.ON Ruhrgas, E.ON Bayern and E.ON
Thuringer Energie, to standardize on Intergraph technology for infrastructure
management. 

"E.ON Mitte has been keeping electronic network data in a geographic
information system (GIS) for 30 years, making us a pioneer of online graphical
network documentation in Germany," said Wolf Hatje, technical and operations
director at E.ON Mitte AG. "Due to its scalability, open architecture and
mobile capabilities, Intergraph technology will allow us to take our use of
GIS data to a new level and continue to innovate for future success, while at
the same time saving on maintenance and operational costs." 

Additional factors leading to E.ON Mitte's selection of Intergraph include
simple integration with E.ON's legacy SAP system, and the ability to easily
transfer GIS data back and forth to mobile devices and share spatial data with
all company departments via the Web.

"We are pleased that yet another E.ON utility has adopted Intergraph
technology as its standard for infrastructure management," said Maximilian
Weber, Utilities & Communications manager for Intergraph in EMEA. "The size,
scope and longevity of E.ON's business speak to the reliability and
cost-effectiveness of Intergraph technology for supporting the performance and
success of even the largest, most established utilities."
