UK's East Midlands Electricity Awards Records Outsourcing Contract to QC DataEME's Terry O'Neill, Investment Projects Manager, said "QC Data has vast experience in the area of data management and have clearly demonstrated that they have the capability to deliver what we need." O'Neill pointed out that EME, which serves some 2.4 million customers, is centralizing records management activities for its Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to more effectively manage costs. QC Data will assist EME with migrating six geographically dispersed records management groups to a Centralized Records Update Facility (CRUF) in Bilborough, England. QC Data will staff and manage the CRUF on a daily basis throughout the life of the contract. The EME contract win is QC Data's third major geospatial records outsourcing initiative in the past two months. QC Data recently signed long-term records outsourcing agreements with telecommunications giant BellSouth and with the Alberta, Canada government's Spatial Data Warehouse Ltd. base mapping consortium. Under each project, QC Data is providing process management controls and expertise through a set of structured methods and procedures that improve recordkeeping timeliness, improve cost management and reduce risks. Marc R. Gill, president of QC Data's Spatial Data Services Division based in Denver, said, "EME looks to us as an experienced partner in their efforts to focus on core utility business activities by outsourcing day-to-day recordkeeping functions. Our job will be to provide EME with current, high-quality information concerning their distribution network." Some 30 companies tendered offers beginning in October 1999 to provide EME's outsourcing services. That list was narrowed to QC Data over an extensive three-month evaluation period. QC Data's Spatial Data Services Division (http://www.qcdata.com) is the market leader in outsourcing services for geospatial data and records administration. The company provides experience, skill and resources to bring competitive value to engineering and land records through increased productivity, improved timeliness and lower long-term cost.
