DESCRIPTION
Presentation during the Oracle OpenWorld 2012 Showcase on Middleware. JD Edwards implementation of Environmental Accounting and Reporting at NCTD>
Citation preview
Showcase: MiddlewareOracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting through JD EdwardsNorth County Transit District San Diego, CAAngela Miller, former Chief Technology Officer/Chief Sustainability Officerfounder, ecology.IT
The North County Transit District:Public Transit for San Diego County• North San Diego County, operating bus, commuter rail, light rail, and
paratransit systems• 12.5 million riders; 107 million annual Passenger Miles Traveled• 9 million annual Vehicle Miles over 550k annual Revenue Vehicle Hours
Public Transit – The Green Transit Optioncomparison of emissions for transportation options
The North County Transit District:Building Sustainable Public Transit• Sustainability and public transit have a natural synergy – economic,
social, and environmental issues all inherently relevant business model• Plan focused first on cost reductions, then capitalizing on opportunity,
then building the cleanest, most scalable transportation. Sustainability took on a much different meaning under dire financial circumstances
History of the NCTD Sustainability Programbuilding one step at a time
Investments in Renewable Powerfive different installation types and locations
Measuring and Benchmarking:The Climate Registry, APTA, and NTD• Wanted to measure using Industry-Standard Methodologies• Became a member of The Climate Registry and filed first baseline year;
Became a signatory to the APTA Sustainability Commitment and filed first annual report; also federally-mandated National KPIs
• In order to complete these goals, NCTD contracted with external partners like Trust Element and Cathy Moran – significant consulting
Our Oracle JD Edwards Footprint• We historically were a heavy maintenance operation. Owned JD
Edwards for Financials, Purchasing, and Inventory Management• In 2011 upgraded successfully to 9.0 blue stack• In 2011 replaced our 22-year old Prime system with HR/Payroll• Added complexity: outsourced operations and maintenance
Implementing Accounting and Reporting:Leveraging Existing Tools and Process• Manual effort too expensive and not repeatable; issues with audit• NCTD wanted to build on their 10-year JD Edwards Investment• Needed a solution that included extensive data transformation• Oracle Solution Seemed to fit the need
Environmental Reporting and AccountingSystem Design
Environmental Reporting and Accountingcollect environmental information right in standard AP processes
Power for EA&R Comes in the Middleware
Integrating all liquid dispensing data – diesel, gas, CNG, oil, lubricants Integrating all power data through downloads from utilities – over 175
meters, and now smart meters Integrating power data from multiple solar installations in 15-minute
intervals Integrating mileage data from two different systems, including a
CAD/AVL system that gives location data for every vehicle every minute of every day
ability to integrate data from non-ERP systems, suppliers
Planned Next Phase
Operational supplier environmental data Integration with automated data from diesel generators Creating the KPI dashboard for environmental data (the one that
comes with EA&R is facility-based, not mode-based)
Building more middleware-dependent data feeds
Environmental Accounting and Reporting: Results• OBIEE allowed for easier transformation of data• Automation of data collection allowed for more frequent and cost
effective analytics; payback period for NCTD < 2 years
