Anaheim Public Utilities are Implementing SoftSmiths
Power and SoftSmiths Market-CASIO
Houston, TX. – March 7, 2007 – SoftSmiths, Inc., a
leading energy software solutions and services company,
today announced that the City of Anaheim Public
Utilities, one of the nation’s premier municipal
utilities, is implementing SoftSmiths Power and
SoftSmiths Market-CAISO, a comprehensive and
fully-integrated energy trading, risk measurement, and
accounting solution. Incorporating a planning tool for
optimizing schedules and resources for daily and hourly
decision-making, SoftSmiths next-generation system
enables Anaheim to be ready for California ISO’s Market
Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU).
Anaheim Public Utilities expands its current use of
SoftSmiths applications by replacing existing systems
for power and gas trading, electronic scheduling,
settlement of bilateral trades and CAISO interface with
SoftSmiths Power and SoftSmiths Market-CAISO.
“We are very excited about this
implementation. SoftSmiths was the only vendor who
offered a integrated solution that provided the desired
functionality and were able and willing to customize it
to our specific needs,” said Steve Sciortino, Integrated
Resource Manager at Anaheim Public Utilities. “Our
experience in working with SoftSmiths as a business
partner has been very positive, and we have high regard
for their products and services, in particular their
competence, integrity and responsiveness.
SoftSmiths Power offers front-to-back functionality for
load forecasting, resource planning, trade capture,
scheduling, transmission reservation, electronic
tagging, risk measurement, credit control, wholesale
checkout and accounting. Integrated with SoftSmiths
Market-CAISO, it automates the interfacing with the
California ISO.
"We are excited about extending our solution set at
Anaheim Public Utilities and help them get ready for the
new market environment", said Hugo Stappers, Director of
Sales and Marketing at SoftSmiths. "LMP markets such as
CAISO MRTU will introduce competition to traditional
utilities. Anaheim recognized, as an asset-centric
utility, that it required a system that provides
integrated real-time visibility into their resources and
marketing activities. SoftSmiths Power and SoftSmiths
Market-CAISO provides exactly that and we are seeing
tremendous positive response from other market
participants”.
