Through continuous development for a long time, IT application in Chinese electric power enterprises has taken shape. Various kinds of large information systems (like power supply enterprises' production management system, marketing system, ERP, EAM, equipment management systems, etc.) are playing an important role in enterprise operation and management. However, information systems are developed and operated separately, with decentralized management, lacking planning. Meanwhile, due to the heterogeneity of information systems in technology implementation, application environment, and database platforms, there is no necessary data communication and functional linkage between information systems. As a result, as enterprise information systems increase, "information island" phenomenon becomes more and more severe, so that enterprises find it very difficult to exert information systems' overall efficiency.

With the deepening of the reform of China's electric power system, and the external uncertainties brought about by China's WTO entry, domestic electric power enterprises are increasingly demanding on their own management level and business implementation efficiency. They need to effectively integrate large quantities of heterogeneous information systems, and improve data interaction and information sharing between systems and business processing efficiency, so that information systems provide stronger support for enterprises' business and management. Therefore, building information integration platforms across application, systems, platforms, networks, regions, and businesses becomes the new development direction for IT application in electric power enterprises.

On the basis of overall survey on the present situation of IT application in large power generation groups and power grid companies, by relying on its understanding of Chinese power generation/power supply enterprises' business and management and its deep insights into the application characteristics and development trend of information integration technology, CCID Consulting expounds the present situation of information integration application in Chinese electric power enterprises, probes key demand for information integration application and the development trend of application, and presents constructive recommendations on leading vendors' application solutions.

Backed by full and accurate market data, the report describes the present situation of information integration application in China's electric power industry in the dimension of market size, industry application, and key application regions for the past three years, and discerns the development trend of the market.

It discerns the present situation of IT application in large power generation groups and power grid enterprises, and analyzes enterprises' key application needs from the angle of integration of application system interfaces, data interaction and sharing between application systems, business collaboration between systems and applications, integrated utilization of enterprise information resources, enterprise business process/management model reform.

It presents exhaustive analysis of present situation of IT application in Chinese electric power enterprises, including the size of the application market, characteristics of market development, and application characteristics. Meanwhile, it forecasts the size of the application integration application market in China's electric power industry for the 2006-2008, and reveals competition situation in the market, to help IT vendors grasp the present situation and development space of the application integration application market in China's electric power industry.

Moreover, the report assesses leading vendors' information integration application solutions and technology application characteristics, analyzes the trend of the application of integration technology in Chinese electric power enterprises, and conducts comprehensive evaluation of leading vendors' market competitiveness, to provide decision basis for Chinese electric power enterprises to map out information integration application strategies and equipment selection strategies.
