Oracle Voluntary Product Accessibility Template

Name of Product: Oracle Utilities Integration for Device Operations 11.1
 Last Updated: 04-Sep-2012

This VPAT applies to only version 11.1. It does not apply to any versions of Oracle Utilities Integration for Device Operations after this.
 This VPAT has been superseded by Oracle Utilities Integration for Device Operations 12.2

Oracle Utilities Operational Device Management (ODM) provides functionality to handle large volumes of assets and to manage the receipt, installation, maintenance, tracking and removal of those assets. Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management (MDM) manages connectivity to head end systems, usage information, smart meter events, time of use schedules, and Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI) commands.

The pre-package integration between these applications includes:

  • Data synchronization of service points and associated contacts from MDM to ODM
  • Data synchronization of new devices from ODM to MDM
  • Data synchronization of installs/removes from MDM to ODM

The integration also includes Reference Data Mapping in the form of Domain Value Maps, along with the capability to easily navigate across systems while working in either application.

This VPAT covers only the integration runtime, as this product has no native user interface (UI). The UI is provided by Oracle SOA Suite.

The information below describes this product's ability to support the applicable U.S. Section 508 standards, subject to Oracle's interpretation of those standards and the remarks in this document. This product does not display 'web pages', thus the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 are not applicable.

For more information regarding the accessibility status of this product or other Oracle products, see https://www.oracle.com/accessibility/ or contact: accessible_ww@oracle.com.
