Spescom Software Inc, the US operation of technology innovator Spescom Limited, announced the establishment of the Spescom Nuclear Advisory Council as a further step in its commitment to the nuclear industry.
The Spescom Nuclear Advisory Council is composed of experts from across the nuclear market including customers and industry representatives. Founding members include Michael Stout, Chairman of the Configuration Management Benchmarking Group (CMBG) Steering Committee - an industry association comprised of leading practitioners in configuration management, as well as senior IT executives from existing customers and partners including Entergy Corp, Constellation Energy Group Inc, Florida Power & Light, Ameren and Aker Kvaerner. Additional members will be invited to join the council in due course.
Spescom Software will be represented by senior executives and product managers. The first meeting of the council will be held in San Diego during July 2004.
The Spescom Nuclear Advisory Council will examine issues and topics of interest to the industry, especially those related to configuration, change, asset and content management. This will include providing guidance on future product requirements and packaging, market positioning, industry alliances and networking.
"We are excited about the formation of the Spescom Nuclear Advisory Council," comments Carl Mostert, Spescom Software CEO. "This market sector is facing some interesting opportunities as ageing nuclear plants are applying for extensions in their operating licences as well as the ongoing need to operate nuclear plants more efficiently without compromising safety. The Spescom Nuclear Advisory Council will provide a valuable platform to examine issues and challenges facing the industry as well as providing further input to Spescom on how best to support the industry."
