Challenge: Aging Workforce in
the Utility Industry
• Average age of utility workers is close to 50
• By 2010, as many as 60 percent of today’s
experienced utility workers will retire.
– Study by American Public Power Assn
– Loss of critical knowledge
– Inability to find replacements with utility-specific skills
• Aging work force is #1 concern of utility HR
executives
– Survey by Carnegie Mellon University Electricity Industry Center
• 20 % decline in productivity forecasted
– Booz Allen study

Challenge: Interoperability
2002 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Study
– Quantified efficiency losses in the U.S. capital facilities
industry from inadequate interoperability over entire
facility life-cycle.
– Estimated inadequate interoperability costs $15.8 billion
– “Likely to be a conservative figure” - NIST
Rule of thumb: 90% of cost of a facility incurred during
operations and maintenance

• Apache Group coordinated "patches“
Challenge: commercializing the web• IBM and others trying to decide how to monetize web
Creation of the Apache Foundation• 1999 IBM helped Apache Group form legal entity
• Provides organizational, legal, and financial support for the Apache web server.
Apache Web Server• Running on over 70% of the world’s web servers

• Information flow is inefficient• Paper
• Backlogs
• Redundant data and processes• Field does not participate in data maintenance
• As-builts redigitized from paper
• Data quality issues• Business processes inhibit data quality
• Expensive• Compared to banking, retail, and airline industry, utilities and telecom

• Who knows your facilities first hand ?
– Field -Thousands or tens of thousands of field staff
• Who requires accurate data to do their job ?
– Field - Returns typically 25% to 30% of all work orders.
• Who “owns” the Records database ?
– Never Field - Records, engineers, managers, …
• What is the trend in the quality of the Records
database ?
– Decreasing - Typical accuracy: 70-80%

Challenge: Aging Workforce in
the Utility Industry
• Biggest problems facing the US power industry
according to American Public Power Assn
– Loss of critical knowledge
• Average age of utility workers is close to 50
• By 2010, as many as 60 percent of today’s
experienced utility workers will retire.
– Inability to find replacements with utility-specific skills
• HR executives in the utility sector overwhelmingly
listed the aging work force as their number one
concern.

Summary
• Convergence is breaking down islands of technology
– Architecture, engineering, geospatial, gaming, 3D simulation
– Standards for convergence are emerging, Ex. IFC2x3g
• Standards lead to commoditization
– Creates opportunity for open source
• Convergence benefits eGovernment, utilities, telcos
– Emergency response, emergency planning, urban planning, operations
• Web 2.0 mapping enables field force participation
– Open source Web 2.0 platform: FDO, MapGuideOS, Fusion

Autodesk Donating Map
Projection Technology to OSGeo• Autodesk is announcing that it plans to donate coordinate system and map
projection technology to the geospatial open source community.
• Acquired from Mentor Software and its founder Norm Olsen.
• Supports the projections and transformations necessary to support over 3,000
coordinate systems worldwide.
• Norm Olsen will join Autodesk as a senior software engineer.
• Mentor is embedded in Autodesk’s AutoCAD Map 3D and Autodesk
MapGuide Enterprise, and is used by hundreds of thousands of organizations
worldwide.
• Autodesk is preparing the source code for donation by ensuring that it is
properly documented and organized as an open source project.
• Autodesk expects to donate the software as an open source project to OSGeo
by the end of 2007.
