Futura Systems Reveals Next-Generation Outage Management System

Atlanta, GA – November 1, 2025

Futura Systems, provider of enterprise GIS software solutions to hundreds of distribution utilities across the United States, announces the availability of its next-generation Outage Management System, FuturaOMS. Representing a major leap forward in processing speed and usability, the next-gen OMS features an intuitive user interface, improved call queue management, modern browser-based architecture, and virtual server compatibility. Completely redesigned from the ground up, it delivers greater scalability, operational efficiency, and performance for utilities.

“Speed was a top priority for us with the next-gen OMS,” said Chris Lahman, Senior Product Manager at Meridian, who oversees the Futura portfolio. “Through a total rewrite of the system architecture and new data partnerships, we’ve delivered a truly game-changing experience for our OMS users that can easily withstand the sudden challenges faced by dispatchers, service staff, line crews, and even utility executives during emergency situations.”

Futura plans to start converting users of the legacy OMS to the next-generation platform in the fourth quarter of 2025.
