Stedin operates in the Dutch Energy market and is responsible for the handling of all metering in the industry and houses. Due to new regulations around Smart metering the number of metering replacements increase with a factor 10-100 the coming years. Up until two years ago work management for changing meter is mostly done by hand, and very error prone. The DSL system will be responsible for the work order management. This presentation describes Stedin, the project case, how it was implemented by Capgemini with Oracle BPM, and what the lessons learned were.

 Helps in getting control work that needs to be done across applications,
departments and even companies
 Helps in structuring work that needs to be done, whether this be automated or
manually.
 Be able to get insight in work that has been done, learn from it and improve
your current work process.
 Be able to change your processes and know where a process change impact
your systems and what people need to do
 Shift towards ‘build-to-change’ processes, as opposed to ‘build-to-last’ back-
office applications
 Ensure that compliance is maintained during any changes to processes.
 Faster time-to-market for innovative solutions

22. Results for the Business & Lessons learned

23. Oracle ADF
• To allow modifications on workorders a new application needed to be built
• During design Oracle ADF (Application Development Framework) was
introduced
• ADF proved to be an agile tool to create applications

29. BAM – Example case of immediate benefit
Another department responsible for processing workorders with customers
with extreme usage.
Working for Meetbedrijf was one of the many tasks of this department.

32. BAM – Example case of immediate benefit
Main focus was to get the right events + data into the BAM-
database, not to get the flashiest reports possible from the start.
Projectteam challenged end-users to think ahead about future
information requirements
Try to show data/exceptions users can act upon
Amazed about the amount of customizing that can be done by a
knowledgeable user of BAM
