The utility will now begin the process of seeking a partnering company to help it with implementing the transition, said Evan O’Mahoney, CPS Energy’s chief information officer. “As a result of a lot of the challenges that we have working with our legacy technology, we have deployed additional applications over time — many of which require integrations to effectively move data around our technology ecosystem,” O’Mahoney told the utility’s board Monday. “Now, as a result, our processes are somewhat fractured and often require quite a bit of manual intervention across our various workforce team members to complete their daily assignments.
“During due diligence, we took a very hard look at the underlying architecture of the technology that was being proposed,” O’Mahoney said. “We also wanted to ensure that we conducted a deep dive relative to the security aspects of these technology solutions.”
