This saves time, avoids mistakes and creates trust.<\/p>\n The complete process is realized through a digital Stages Workflow System<\/strong> with HybridForms. Individual stages can only be completed when all necessary entries have been made correctly. This ensures process security and adherence to all compliance requirements.<\/p>\n Interfaces to internal applications<\/strong> enable immediate data reconciliation. If defects are detected during the inspection of a gas system, HybridForms is used to initiate a block and set deadlines in the connected internal systems for repairing the defects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> With an electricity supply network of more than 29,000 km and a natural gas supply network of about 4,000 km, Energienetze Steiermark GmbH<\/strong> is an important infrastructure provider and investor in Styria\/Austria. Thus, the annual investments in the electricity and gas networks amount to about 90 million Euros.<\/span><\/p>\n Almost the entire domestic industry, many commercial enterprises and about 500,000 customers are connected to the line network of Energienetze Steiermark GmbH. As a network operator, the company is responsible, among other things, for the construction, operation and maintenance of the network infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> \u00bbWhen replacing gas meters, we were able to optimize the administrative process by 60% through digitization with HybridForms and achieve court-proof digital documentation of the system status for more operational safety.\u00ab<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote> \u00bbHybridForms is an optimal platform for the digitization of numerous paper-based processes. icomedias has proven itself not only as a software supplier, but also as a competent partner for process analysis and optimization.\u00ab<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote> Exchange and inspection reports on paper had to be laboriously prepard by employees in the back office, printed out and assigned by hand.<\/strong> The paper forms were then filled in by the service specialists on site \u2013 even though most of this data had already been stored several times in other central systems. This resulted in a significant amount of additional work.<\/p>\n When typing the logs on paper in the back office afterwards, special attention had to be paid. In addition, the blocking of defective gas systems could not be immediately digitally documented. There was a clear need for greater efficiency \u2013 and automatisms for more safety.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Digitization workshop<\/strong> with process analysis and conceptual design of an immediately usable prototype \u00bbDigital Standard Meter Exchange\u00ab.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Secure pilot project on customer\u2018s servers<\/strong> in the real-world process with selected pilot users.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Production implementation<\/strong> of the digital form processes tested in everyday use directly after the pilot project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Direct added value through secure enterprise features<\/strong> such as biometric signatures, images with sketches\/annotations, and interactive assistance features.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div> Generally shorter lead times by over 60%<\/strong>, fast digital availability, best mobile usability and thus very high user acceptance right from the start.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> High data quality<\/strong> with input verification, error avoidance through stages workflow with validation, error marking and completeness check.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Modern appearance at the customer<\/strong> \u2013 sustainable and ecologically without paper.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>HybridForms: Digital forms for utilities & grids<\/h2><\/div>
