Website enables utility personnel to get real-time outage information organized by state and mutual assistance group affiliations
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 20, 2011 — Macrosoft's popular utility outage portal, Outage Central (http://www.outagecentral.com) is ready to support the upcoming winter storm season. Outage Central contains maps and outage data allowing you to quickly ascertain outage information in every state across the US.
Outage Central recently launched a Web-based Mutual Assistance Group View in an effort to provide a forum to help utilities coordinate regional restoration efforts. It allows Regional Mutual Assistance Groups to communicate with each other to generate a larger geographical response to outage events.
"Bookmark Outage Central now so when ice storms come your way you can quickly and easily view outage information for your geographic area of interest," said Jason Singer, Director of Macrosoft's Utilities Practice. "Seeing the breadth of outages other companies in your mutual aid group are dealing with enables better resource planning and communications." Outage central is designed to complement Resources on-Demand, the industry standard tool used to manage crews, equipment, lodging, and logistics in the event of a large-scale power restoration effort.

Specifically designed for electric utilities, Resources on Demand (RoD) is a multi-user system that manages resource requests & allocations, tracks personnel movements, and supports logistics during power outages. RoD replaces existing manual processes with a comprehensive application to ensure consistent data integrity and retrieval by storm centers.
