This article stresses the importance of a clearly defined strategy and guidance plan to ensure the continued optimized performance of a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The article lists various aspects of a utility's performance that are negatively affected by a SCADA system that is at or near the end of its expected service life. The article also lists the benefits of adhering to a SCADA master plan for establishing system reliability to meet business needs and attain strategic visions. Also, essential outcomes that must be addressed by a SCADA system master plan are provided.
