Salt River Project (SRP) includes two
entities serving the Phoenix area: the Salt River Project Agricultural
Improvement and Power District and the Salt River Valley Water Users’
Association. The SRP district operates various power plants and generating stations
to provide electricity to nearly 956,000 retail customers. The SRP association
maintains an extensive system of reservoirs, wells, and irrigation laterals to
deliver nearly 1 million acre-feet of water annually.
Salt River Project implemented Oracle’s Primavera Portfolio Management to unify
management of its extensive IT portfolio, including essential utility systems,
like work and asset management, as well as programming frameworks and
development tools. With the system, SRP discovered almost US$500,000 in
cost-reduction opportunities by identifying redundant or low use software,
including 150 applications that are close to being unsupported. The company
retired 10 applications in the last year and upgraded 34 systems. SRP also
identified preferred technologies and ensured that more than 90% of
applications are based on standard technologies—reducing procurement costs,
simplifying maintenance support, and lowering total cost of ownership.
Solutions:
Provided approximately 70 users
in the IT support group with detailed insight into the product lifecycle
of each piece of IT infrastructure and software in the entire portfolio
Discovered almost US$500,000 in
cost reduction opportunities by identifying redundant or low use software
that could be eliminated or migrated to alternative solutions
Identified approximately 150
applications that are close to being unsupported and prioritized them to
begin modernization
