DMS is the primary system used by distribution center controllers to operate the distribution network efficiently
Distribution Management System
A Decision Support System capable of collecting, organizing and displaying real-time or near real-time information from the distribution field devices/sensors on to spatial overlay maps with a primary focus on identifying network abnormalities
Enables utility control center to remotely monitor and control network operations in an optimal manner without compromising safety, security and asset protection
DMS typically interfaces with other operational applications such as GIS, OMS and SCADA system for operations management
Single scalable integrated platform for SCADA, DMS, OMS, Simulation and Demand Response and CIS/AMI/WAM/WFM) eliminates the information silos that exist between IT and OT by enabling data sharing to enhance system performance, reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction

Various benefits can be leveraged from the integration of the DMS with other OT and Corporate applications
DMS integration with OMS/SCADA
A single shared model for these applications Common permissions managed and enabled via single login Sustained alarms, tagging and event logs across applications A possible single, common UI for the applications
DMS integration with AMI/MDM
Better Outage Management through the ability to ping meters get information about single and nested outages
Improve reliability indices (SAIDI, CAIDI, SAIFI, etc) and customer satisfaction through faster and more predictable outage restoration
Improve meter performance through smart meter load profiles which can be used to estimate load distribution on a distribution feeder
Use voltage levels recording by Smart Meters to improve network performance and optimise Volt/VAR controlDMS integration with
Feeder Automation Enable implementation through a centralized scheme allowing control of large portions of the distribution network, thereby delivering more advanced DA functionalities

An integrated DMS could be taken to the cloud as a next step to drive in various benefits
Integrated DMS on a Cloud
A cloud-based DMS application integrated using the Common Information Model with other core on-site business applications helps in reducing the time and effort required to implement the solution while maintaining the highest levels of quality. It helps to:
A fully functional solution with real-time management of distribution networks and complete suite of applications
Single scalable integrated platform for SCADA, DMS, OMS, Simulation and Demand Response built for the Smart Grid and storm proven ready
Private cloud-based IT architecture that’s reliable, flexible, scalable and secure Cap-Ex free computing by reducing the total cost of ownership will full investment
protection Service levels that drive performance and efficiency metrics

Some key challenges related to DMS integration and hosting will need to be successfully tackled
Multiple Interfaces – The DMS can have numerous interfaces with external systems exchanging data in different formats; viz: SCADA, OMS, GIS, Business Applications, Analytics, etc.
Data Quality – Adapt to dynamic network models to ensure all IT/OT are using the appropriate and validated data.
Communications – Robust communication infrastructure to address the huge volume of field data transfers based on their criticality, periodicity & volume
Operational Efficiency – Streamline & improve operational efficiencies by eliminating redundant processes and leveraging the data across various business applications
Data Security & Privacy - Enforcement of security policies restricting access to critical data from theft / misuse
Governance - Monitoring & logging of all integration data points
Performance - How quickly the data transformation & routing mechanisms need to function
Firewall Issues - Limitations/drawbacks around opening special pinholes on firewall or using dedicated VPNs
Maintenance and Upgrades - Support new cloud computing or enterprise system interfaces as they evolve
Scalability, High Availability and Reliability - Underlying platform must provide for easy scale-out & scale-up of applications so that more per-tenant users can be added without degradation in service levels
