Survalent to Collaborate with Thales on Solutions for the Utility Sector

Survalent Technology announced that it will work with Thales to jointly develop enhanced solutions. Survalent will develop and integrate new functionality and enhancements to the Survalent ONE™ ADMS platform, and its SCADA, OMS and DMS components, based on Thales's technology. The development investment will advance Survalent's strategy to help utilities modernize the grid and prepare for a distributed energy resources future. The Survalent ONE product line will incorporate Thales's critical information and cyber-security solutions to protect and to increase the resilience of critical information systems for utilities.

Thales’ unique Big Data platform and multi-touch display technology is being integrated to the ADMS solution, to aid utility decision making and collaboration in the control room and field. Access to Big Data analytics will enable utility staff to analyze real-time social media data, to gain insight and awareness at the community level. Proven real-time collaboration and display technology will support control room decision making and increase shared situational awareness, during outages and crisis events.

Joining with Thales and other partners is important to the evolution of Survalent’s flagship ADMS software to meet the increased collaboration, information and security needs of customers worldwide. The first phase of integration is expected to be complete in 2016.

“We are delighted to be working in partnership with Thales given their global strength and deep expertise in mission-critical fields,” stated Young Ngo, EVP, Survalent Technology. “The results of this technological collaboration will benefit many of our ADMS solution customers. The importance of protecting the critical assets of utilities from cyber-attacks cannot be underestimated. Building security into our product line and adding functionality to optimize control room decision-making are key elements of our product innovation and partnership strategy.”

“The capabilities of Survalent are really impressive, as proven by their large customer base,” said Dave Spagnolo, VP Sales and Marketing, Thales in Canada. “We look forward to bringing our worldwide innovation and know how to our partner and their customers, as we witness an unprecedented digital transformation in the industry.”
