Oracle Utilities Network Management System Integration

6B partners with distribution network operators (DNOs), municipal utilities, electric cooperatives, and multi-utility providers to enable seamless data exchange between Oracle NMS and upstream or downstream systems. Using APIs, web services, CIM-based models, IEC protocols, microservices, and high-performance data pipelines, we ensure safe, reliable communication across operational and IT environments. From discovery through deployment and long-term optimisation, we deliver integrations that improve resilience, visibility, and operational performance.

Understanding Oracle Utilities Network Management System

Oracle Utilities Network Management System (NMS) is a comprehensive platform for outage management (OMS), distribution management (DMS), and grid operations. It supports fault location, isolation, and service restoration (FLISR), switching management, load flow analysis, network modelling, crew dispatching, and situational awareness across the distribution grid.

Oracle NMS supports integration through SOAP and REST APIs, web services, JMS messaging, CIM-based data exchange, event streams, and secure data ingestion pipelines. It connects with AMI systems, SCADA platforms, DERMS, GIS environments, customer information systems (CIS), mobile workforce tools, forecasting engines, digital twins, and enterprise analytics platforms. Its modular design enables utilities to unify outage, grid, and customer data into a single operational environment.

Our Oracle NMS Integration Process

Every Oracle NMS integration begins with a detailed discovery phase to understand your operational workflows, network model, data structures, outage processes, and regulatory requirements. Whether you need to synchronise AMI events, integrate SCADA telemetry, enhance crew dispatching, automate switching workflows, or feed analytics environments, we map your objectives to Oracle NMS’s integration interfaces and data models.

Our architects design a secure, resilient integration architecture using Oracle NMS web services, REST APIs, JMS queues, IEC-based telemetry integrations, microservices, or ETL pipelines depending on your system landscape. We consider critical non-functional needs including latency, redundancy, outage resiliency, cybersecurity, and auditability.

During development, we leverage reusable integration accelerators — mapping templates, message handlers, validation engines, transformation pipelines, and monitoring dashboards — to accelerate delivery and ensure robust engineering. Integrations undergo comprehensive testing across load scenarios, fault conditions, failover behaviour, and security controls to ensure stability in mission-critical operational environments.

Once validated, we manage deployment in close coordination with your control room and operations teams to ensure safe and uninterrupted system performance. Post-launch, we provide ongoing monitoring, optimisation, and lifecycle support to keep your Oracle NMS integration aligned with evolving operational needs and system updates.

Benefits of Oracle NMS Integration

Integrating your systems with Oracle NMS delivers significant operational and customer-facing benefits. Real-time synchronisation of meter events, grid conditions, outage intelligence, and customer data improves situational awareness and enables faster, more accurate restoration decisions.

Integration with AMI systems enhances outage detection, verification, and nested outage identification. Connecting NMS with GIS improves switching accuracy, while linking with SCADA and DER systems strengthens voltage management, load flow modelling, and safety processes. Automated workflows and data exchange reduce manual effort, improve operational efficiency, and support regulatory reporting.

Customers benefit from faster outage communication, reduced downtime, and improved reliability — while operators gain enhanced visibility, better decision support, and more coordinated field operations.
