FUSION is a software Framework that offers a full suite of applications built to exploit Data in order to effectively plan, design, build, maintain, share, report and analyze the Distribution Network.  This technology provides utilities with an integrated approach to maintaining their infrastructure.

FUSION enables utilities to consolidate disparate Data into a single Oracle™-based repository.  All departments can access centralized, quality Data using FUSION applications or their own.  The cost-savings attributed to the improved business processess that reply on up-to-date and validated Data can be recognized across the enterprise-from the IT department to the Field Crews and up to the executive management who gain confidence in the numbers they are provided.

FUSION's .Net open-architecture was designed to be used collaboratively with third-party applications.
