Could give no information to customers about the outage
Printed outage tickets from CIS and put them in piles by pole number
CSR’s were only someone for customers to call and vent to
Very unorganized

Our ConfigurationOur Configuration
We only poll our stations during storm situations to compare outage calls to system data.
We poll every 30 mins or when we want to determine if an area has been restored.
We do not have our substations call us.
![Page 18: Multispeak, OMS, & Customer Service – Whats the link? Presented by Angela Hare Director of Information Systems Central EMC](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5518cbeb550346881f8b5acf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Things to considerThings to consider
Will you be using AMR as your primary outage reporting or as a suppliment?
Is this for major storms and clean up only? Would it be better left off until you want to
invoke the command? Do you want your substations calling you or
would you rather call the substations? KEEP YOUR AMR DATABASE CLEAN AND UP
TO DATE!!!!

Our SetupOur Setup
Outage calls come from 3 sources: AMR, IVR, & Customer Service Reps
This data is all compiled on the OMS map Our Dispatch center is not manned 24/7 so we
only turn AMR on when we are working storms We can poll our stations in about 20 mins AMR is always communicating to SPUs, detects
outages based on signal strength drop

Verification Process
Verification is done when the lineman confirms the outage element.
This changes prompts on the IVR side automatically.
