Tyumenenergo

Since 2012, the Company has been using the Information Technologies, Automation and Telecommunications Strategy for the period up to 2016 (later — ITT Strategy).

The ITT Strategy highlights the main activities of the Company in the form of the following programs:

• Program for Comprehensive Automation of Industrial, Financial and Economic Activities;
• Program for Development of Automated Systems of Network Management;
• Program for Development of Automated Electricity Metering Systems;
• Program for Optimization and Development of ITT Infrastructure;
• Program for Development of ITT Security Systems;
• Program for Development of Telecommunications Facilities;
• Program for Optimization of ITT Operation and Management.

The above programs on automation and development of the Company`s core areas of activities are presented in the form of the Company`s ITT Strategy Road Map through projects, events and initiatives aimed at development of information technologies and telecommunications with description of the vector of the Company`s ITT development, and the Company`s expenses associated with implementation thereof.

In 2014, the Company`s ITT Strategy Road Map was updated with inclusion of the performance indicators to be achieved for the period from 2014 to 2016, and approved at the meeting of the Board of Directors of JSC Tyumenenergo (Minutes No. 20/14 dated 23 December 2014).

In order to raise visibility of the Company`s ITT status consolidated structure, the updated road map of ITT Strategy implementation contains the following additional information in the form of a process model. The Process model is a digitized status of the Company`s ITT for each of the activities at the end of each year and the planned level of automation, which will be achieved through implementation of the projects in 2015–2016.

Business directions of the Company are represented by digital indicators characterizing the current and target level of the Company`s ITT automation. This indicator is calculated as change of the integrated assessment before and after implementation of the projects on automation of the Company`s operations. Assessment is performed on a five-grade scale.
