OLAV’s work with American Electric Power (AEP) involved two large projects:

1. Legacy database conversion and migration – Energy Delivery Group’s Supply Chain Client comment: “We have enjoyed multiple successful data conversion projects with OLAV, but the Energy Delivery Supply Chain conversion was easily our smoothest conversion to our EAM software.” Michael DeLoach, AEP Project Manager

This project for AEP’s Energy Delivery Group’s Supply Chain (EDSC) implementation into their PassPort (now Asset Suite) Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system.
