St. Paul, MN, July 15, 2008 -- Powel Inc. announced that it has formed a partnership with URMC to deliver empirical, risk-specific inventory and analysis data within a hosted service to utility companies. Under the agreement, Powel will integrate its software suite into URMC's utility-focused risk management solution, allowing for the customization of Powel's software to better serve URMC's customers.
URMC provides utilities with a complete managed service that uses aerial remote sensing and digital imaging technology to identify and inventory utility companies' transmission assets, as well as nearby vegetation. The service then provides solutions for mitigating threats and documenting the elimination of these risks at a fraction of the cost of a traditional fly-over audit. The information is automatically captured, analyzed and maintained to ensure system reliability and satisfy regulatory demands.
The combined solution will be offered to existing URMC customers, which encompass some of the largest utilities in the United States.
