The Phase C application interaction matrix for a distribution operator Each filled cell names the data one application sends to another, so a row is everything a system provides and a column everything it consumes: GIS feeds four of the other five as the integration hub, and the LTDS publication depends on five upstream feeds.
The Phase C application interaction matrix for a distribution operator
A six by six interaction matrix for a distribution operator, with the same applications down the side and across the top: connections portal, GIS, asset register, SCADA historian, meter data service and LTDS publication. Each filled cell names the data the row application sends to the column application, such as asset updates from the asset register into GIS, or peak demands from the SCADA historian into the LTDS publication. The diagonal is struck because a system never feeds itself. The GIS row and column carry the accent tint because GIS is the integration hub that feeds four of the other five, while the LTDS publication column receives from five upstream applications.
