"We visited Texas New Mexico Power and viewed the integration of PowerBase and Cascade before the purchase. We liked how much it was seamless to the user."

I am an engineer. I’ve worked for CLECO for 21 years.

What made you pick up PowerBase? Was there a specific problem/need that caused you to seek out our applications?
Our company was looking for one database to manage equipment maintenance and equipment settings. The company decided on Cascade and we needed a setting database linked or integrated to Cascade. We had been using Aspen relay database but decided PowerBase was a better fit.

What other applications are part of your workflow, and how does PowerBase work with these applications?
We decided because the integration of PowerBase and Cascade is seamless, that PowerBase would not be a relay database but a setting database. Any equipment that has settings (automatic transfer schemes, wavetraps, reclosers, battery chargers) would be setup in PowerBase.

Has the introduction of ENOSERV products into your workflow caused you to branch out and explore opportunities you wouldn't have otherwise?
Yes. We are looking at setting up anything with settings in PowerBase.
