Telvent
launches its Certified SCADA Professionals Program
Madrid, August 30, 2004 - Telvent,
the Global RealTime IT company and subsidiary of Abengoa,
launched its Certified SCADA Professionals Program (TCSP)
during the inaugural Certification Advisory Board meeting
held recently in Calgary, Canada. The program was designed
with significant industry input, and is expected to be the
premiere certification program for individuals administering
or supporting computer-based systems used for supervising,
acquiring data, and controlling live, realtime information
management processes.
Program Overview
SCADA professionals are largely
employed by Energy, Transportation Companies and Public Utilities
using SCADA to monitor, control and support pipelines and
pipeline networks transporting petroleum, petroleum products,
natural gas and water, as well as electric transmission and
distribution networks.
SCADA Professionals (SCADA stands
for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) are essential
partners in an organization's program to maximize system security,
and minimize potential environmental hazards or energy interruptions.
TCSP certification helps prepare these SCADA system professionals
through examination and re-certification programs designed
to enhance their technical diligence and their standing within
the Industry.
Telvent's Certified SCADA Professionals
Program has three primary goals:
- To establish a recognized standard
of best practices for performing specific tasks in a safe,
competent and professional manner.
- To provide a means for individuals
or organizations to assess their skills against this recognized
industry standard.
- To certify that employees who
provide SCADA support services are properly prepared for
the professional responsibilities of successfully supporting
a SCADA system environment, and fully understand the impact
of their actions affecting the safety and reliability of
the operation.
According to Manuel Sánchez Ortega,
Telvent's CEO, "By being certified as a SCADA Professional,
individuals have demonstrated that they have the skills necessary
to provide organizations with successful design, implementation,
administration and management of the SCADA systems being employed."
"Organizations can ensure that employees or contractors
working on their SCADA system meet the required level of knowledge
and competency as defined in the standard," he added.
