Current MBC Roll Out status - • HESCOM – CC&B application rolling out today at Dharwad with 2 sub divisions (41,000 + 44,000 customers/ 49+23 HT customers/ 3000+ above 40HP customers). • Nine towns viz, Dandeli, Sirsi, Karwar, Bhatkal, Kumta, Haveri, Savanur, Ranebennur and Nargund are planning make go-live in December 2011. • Remaining 21 towns during Jan-2012 and Full-stock Go-live of pilot town Dharwad in Feb-2012 and other towns by Apr-2012.
Challenges & Current Status • Simplified Payment Screen – For ease of use we have suitably modified the payment screen and it will be available on production by 18th Nov/2011. • HT meter reading batch upload – modifications to be available by 18th of this month (Auto population of RR no/ Auto upload of HT Reads) • Disconnection List – Modifications to available disconnection list already incorporated. • Above 40HP SBM billing to be tested & deployed at W4 next week. • DCB Report – Based on Becom’s changes requirements, new DCB report has already been developed and will be available by end of this week for use. • Multi Storied Building – Development happening at Oracle side and expected to be available by mid of December.
Challenges & Action Required • Availability of only 5 numbers of computers with LAN points at different sub division offices. • Requirement of Kwh/ KVAh and Kvarh and MD reading for all above 40HP & HT customers. • More numbers of SB-Machines for above 40HP billing. • Current UPS provided with all the PCs can supply power for 15-20 minutes only. • Procurement of pre printed spot billing stationary/ cash collection counter paper.
Golive - Sequencing of activities CC&B system up and running Compliance of pre Go live list Data migration Down time of CC&B TRM shut down Data dump from TRM vendor Go / No Go decision Billing and collection report from TRM vendor Data validation and comparison with legacy system
