Industry Presentations

SSP Innovation's owner and chief technical architect, Skye Perry, co-published a paper on the implementation details of the NIPSCO (Northern Indiana Public Service Co.) GIS system. The paper was published via a partnership with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and it is available to the public from the NREL website: NIPSCO's Automated Energy Distribution and Reliability System

Perry has also presented papers at both the 2007 and 2008 ESRI Electric and Gas User Group (EGUG). In 2008 Perry co-presented a paper with Garland Power & Light (GP&L) titled Get Your GAME-FACE On - Extending your GIS to the Team. The presentation outlines how SSP Innovations helped GP&L extend their back end ESRI geodatabase to various other departments (warehouse, transformer shop, field) by adding web and mobile field access. The paper can be viewed here on the SSP website including full screenshots of a demo of GP&L's GIS-based applications.
