Horizon Utilities, the third-largest municipally-owned electricity distribution company in Ontario, has selected IFS Applications to help it manage its facilities in Hamilton, St. Catharines, and Stoney Creek, Ontario.

The plan calls for Horizon to implement IFS Applications to streamline infrastructure improvement and maintenance activities, and to tighten its supply chain for raw materials and parts. The utility will also implement IFS Applications for finance and human resources management.

"Moving from our various existing computer systems to a unified enterprise application will allow us to manage our maintenance crews and capital projects more effectively -- and that increases grid reliability and allows us to better serve our business and residential customers," says John Basilio, Horizon Utilities senior vice president and chief financial officer.
