Power Provider

Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) today announced that Stadtwerke Bremen, one of Germany's largest municipal energy providers, has chosen CA's Unicenter TNG for centralized management of its heterogeneous IT infrastructure.

Stadtwerke Bremen provides electricity, heat, natural gas and water for approximately 260,000 households in Germany's Bremen region. Consequently, high availability and reliable end-to-end IT operations were critical considerations in choosing an enterprise management solution.

"Unicenter TNG seamlessly integrates all of our systems and gives us an overall view of enterprise functions," said Percy Hamer, project leader at Stadtwerke. "As we expand our network, we can further leverage Unicenter TNG's many functions to improve the work environment for systems monitoring and fault tracking, thus reducing down-time."

Stadtwerke Bremen's IT environment encompasses Novell NetWare servers, UNIX systems, a BS2000 mainframe from Siemens-Nixdorf, and Windows NT servers. The network, which incorporates state-of-the-art fiber optic cabling, also encompasses approximately 1,200 PC clients distributed throughout the entire city of Bremen.

"Stadtwerke Bremen's implementation of Unicenter TNG to manage its mission-critical infrastructure illustrates the confidence our worldwide clients have in its end-to-end enterprise management capabilities," said Gabriele Rittinghaus, managing director, CA-Germany. "Such a commitment illustrates the robust and comprehensive nature of CA's solution in not only meeting today's needs, but those of tomorrow as well."

Since implementing Unicenter TNG, Stadtwerke Bremen has reaped tremendous rewards. "We can execute our labor-intensive functions, particularly those in user services, with less personnel, and we'll be able to meet our growing demands in the future without having to add staff," said Hamer.

Stadtwerke Bremen has used Unicenter TNG to automate its software delivery functions, and will use Unicenter TNG's Single Sign-On feature to simplify the security and administration of users accessing multiple applications, databases, networks and systems. The company expects the Unicenter TNG implementation to be completed by the end of 1998.
