English to Romanian: Outage Management IT system
Source text - English Executive Summary A primary concern on the minds of many utility company executives is how to improve the companies performance against regulatory imposed indices and streamline their approach to the management of the network. In a more competitive global economy with price sensitive customers, return on investment is more important now than ever before. The de-regulation within the industry and fall in the stock market has caused many organizations to re-evaluate their thinking and approach to technology investment. World-class utility organizations are more and more seeking to achieve business value through network efficiency initiatives. Through automation, these organizations are achieving tangible, bottom-line benefits through process modifications, reduction in outage restoration times, improved collaboration across multiple departments and within multi-utility franchises, and lower cost of ownership achieved with off-the-shelf solutions. All of which directly impacts the bottom line. This paper will highlight the results of industry research showing that systems like eRespond™ can improve performance, accelerate deployment and enable utility companies to reap the benefits of standardized solutions for Network Operations Management, in particular Event/Outage Management. In addition to these benefits, it was shown that LeT Systems products and services helped reduce costly downtime and reduced risk for customers. Our findings revealed that our customers realized returns on investment (ROI) above expectations. Initial investments yielded payback periods within 12 months of deployment, providing returns covering all investment costs well within the business case scenario. The goal of this white paper is to address the business value of Network Operations Management systems such as eRespond™ and examine the impact on cost of ownership. This paper will examine the issues and challenges within critical lines of businesses within most utility companies and identify the associated costs and benefits typically incurred for enterprise deployments related to eRespond™. The paper will also highlight the economic benefits of the strategic architecture adopted by LeT Systems and examine its effectiveness now and for the future. Upon review of this white paper, you will gain insight to the relevant costs and associated benefits of Network Operations Management and how ROI is achieve with real bottom line results.	Translation - Romanian Rezumat O Primă preocupare a multora dintre conducerile companiilor de utilităţi este cum să-şi îmbunătăţească performanţele companiilor pe baza indicatorilor regulamentari impuşi şi accelerează metoda de administrare a reţelei. Într-o economie globală concurentială cu clienţi sensibili la preţ, rentabilitatea investitiei este acum mult mai importantă ca niciodată. Liberalizarea din cadrul industriei şi scăderea bursei de valori au determinat multe organizaţii să-şi reevalueze concepţia şi metoda de investiţie în tehnologie. Organizaţiile utilitare de nivel internaţional încearcă din ce în ce mai mult să obţină o cifră de afaceri prin iniţiativele de eficienţă ale reţelei. Prin automatizare, aceste organizaţii obţin beneficii tangibile, nete prin modificarea procesului, reducerea duratelor de restaurare a întreruperii, colaborarea îmbunătăţită dintre diverse departamente şi în cadrul francizelor multiutilitare şi costul scăzut al proprietăţii obţinut cu soluţii standard. Toate acestea au un impact direct asupra rezultatului net. Această lucrare va pune în evidenţă rezultatele cercetărilor industriale arătând că sistemele ca eRăspuns pot îmbunătăţi performanţa, pot accelera dezvoltarea şi pot facilita companiile utilitare să culeagă beneficiile soluţiilor standardizate pentru Managementul Operaţiunilor de reţea, în special Managementul Evenimentului/ Întreruperii. Ăe lângă aceste beneficii, s-a arătat că produsele şi serviciile LeT Systems au ajutat la reducerea costului timpului de întrerupere şi a redus riscul pentru clienţi. Cercetările noastre au descoperit faptul că clienţii noştri au realizat rentabilitatea investitiei (ROI) peste aşteptări. Investiţiile iniţiale aduceau perioade de rambursări în termen de 12 luni de la desfăşurare, oferind profit ce acoperă toate costurile de investiţii din cadrul planului de afaceri. Scopul acestei cărţi albe este acela de a adresa cifra de afaceri a sistemelor de management ale operaţiunilor de reţea cum ar fi eRăspuns şi de a examina impactul asupra costului de proprietate. Această carte va analiza problemele şi confruntările din cadrul liniilor critice de afaceri din majoritatea companiilor utilitare şi va identifica costurile asociate şi beneficiile apărute în mod obişnuit pentru desfăşurările întreprinderii cu privire la eRăspuns. Cartea va evidenţia de asemenea beneficiile economice ale arhitecturii strategice adoptate de LeT Systems şi va analiza eficienţa acesteia în prezent şi pe viitor. La analiza acestei cărţi albe, veţi obţine o perspectivă internă a costruilor relevante şi a beneficiilor asociate ale Managementului de Operaţiune de reţea şi cum este obţinută rentabilitatea investiţiei cu rezultate nete reale.
