SoftSmiths
E-Tag Portal achieves milestone of 2 million tag messages;
now ready for E-Tag 1.7
Houston, TX. – November
13, 2001 – Today,
SoftSmiths announced that one of its customers, Bonneville
Power Administration, reached a milestone of 2 million
tag messages involving approximately 400,000 tags. SoftSmiths
delivers critical e-Business solutions and services that
enable the energy industry participants to enhance profitability
and reliability in the competitive marketplace.
Building on a history of outstanding
performance, this result demonstrates the reliability
of the Electronic
Tagging Portal Suite (ETPS), which provides virtually
limitless scalability and availability. ETPS includes
three components – e-Agent, e-Authority and e-Approval – and
enables all entities (Control Area Operators, Purchasing/Selling
Entities, Transmission Providers, Load Serving Entities,
and Generation Producers) involved in energy delivery
transactions to create, verify, approve and manage
transactions electronically using the Internet as its
platform.
"SoftSmiths’ ETPS provides us with an incredibly
powerful and robust platform that will scale to accommodate
our rapidly expanding transaction volume," said
Bob Ellingwood, Project Manager at Bonneville Power
Administration. "We needed a tool that could perform
well under extremely heavy e-tagging transaction loads
without sacrificing the end-user experience."
In a related announcement, SoftSmiths is pleased to
report its readiness for E-Tag 1.7 and has conducted
extensive interoperability testing with other vendors,
providing a test environment that has been available
24x7 since the beginning of the test period. With the
new implementation date of March 6, 2002 only 4 months
away, SoftSmiths is ready to assist its customers with
their transition. For customers that are looking for
a seamlessly integrated end-to-end solution, E-Tag
is also available with our e-Merchant and e-Wheel product
suites.
