Trimble announced  it has acquired privately-held LET Systems based in Cork, Ireland. LET Systems is an internationally recognized leader in incident and outage management system (OMS) solutions for utilities.

The acquisition is part of Trimble's strategic utilities and smart grid initiative to bring productivity solutions to the global utilities industry. Financial terms were not disclosed.

LET Systems provides OMS, network modeling, customer contact and mobile workforce management software for electric, gas, water and wastewater utilities. Its innovative eRespond(TM) software platform provides utilities with the tools to increase network reliability, improve efficiency and reduce the cost of day-to-day operations while improving customer service and regulatory reporting. eRespond is a modular spatially-enabled solution designed and proven to meet the needs of a broad range of utilities--from small, community-based utilities with fewer than 200,000 service connections to large utilities that cover an entire country with approximately 16,000,000 service connections.
