Case Study: GE Energy enhances Electric Office with Astec prototypes

GE Energy ships Electric Office prototypes across 5 new features with Astec

GE Energy engaged Astec to customize its Smallworld Electric Office software for planning and managing electric networks. The primary challenge was that the project was in an early stage with poorly defined requirements, requiring Astec to use its expertise to fill in the gaps.

Astec implemented a solution by assembling a senior team that worked in sprints to develop a series of functional prototypes based on GE's ideas. This process resulted in the successful release of several new features for Electric Office, including enhancements for solar power planning, transmission structure protection, and electric vehicle charge locations. The success of the project was measured by the fact that most of the prototypes created by Astec were incorporated into the final product release.
