Southern Union Company

Challenge
The company’s goal was to support a single IT environment across multiple subsidiaries. The challenge would be to move toward successful installation of all systems while at the same time accommodating acquisitions of other utilities and IT environments which grew the company’s customer base from 500,000 to 1.2 million.

Solution
TMG participated in the development of a company-wide strategic IT plan. This plan formed the basis for the next five years of system replacement initiatives. TMG assisted in an integrated Product Evaluation and Selection effort which encompassed three states, two central computing centers and various solutions including Customer Information System, cashiering, in-truck terminal dispatch, gas accounting and supply, general ledger, budget, A/P, A/R, fixed asset CPR, project management, inventory, purchasing, human resources, and payroll from various outsourced mainframe environments and in-house midrange computers. TMG assisted with installation activities through 1996.
