In 2009, PERN’s management decided to implement a complex IT system for managing network assets. The company turned to Globema who implemented the SeZaM system as well as the GE Global Transmission Office application based on the GE Smallworld platform. We also created an inventory of the transmission network, storage units, and fiber-optic network. In the following years, the system was expanded with additional functional modules (such as managing work in the Explosion Hazardous Areas) in the Pay-As-You-Go model.
