Our Customers Say... |

While the physical infrastructure of
generation sources and the wires connecting them
to load change infrequently, Control Area Operators
and Transmission Providers are being subjected, by
the open access marketplace, to a proliferation in
both the number and complexity of transactions scheduled
on those wires. These transactions must be managed
with real-time responsiveness, requiring frequent
and detailed communication with the OASIS, NERC e-tagging
marketplace and internal computing systems. The FERC-envisioned
model for large-scale Regional Transmission Organizations
(RTOs) promises even greater business challenges
as the future of the industry unfolds.
To what level your company will lead
the evolving business environment depends largely
on the modernization
of your transaction management system. It must be
capable of serving an increasingly diverse customer
service base with transaction rates in the hundreds
of thousands. SoftSmiths' Transmission Services Management
solution offers a flexible, scalable business technology
solution that seamlessly integrates Scheduling, Transmission
Services, ATC Management, Interchange Checkout, and
Accounting and Reporting for your business.

Interfaces
To interface with custom and/or off-the-shelf applications, customer interfaces
can be developed using the e-Link XML API. The system as shipped interacts
with all NERC compliant tagging services, FERC compliant OASIS nodes, and EMS
systems via EMSLink.
e-Link interfaces are designed using publish and subscribe, so transfers are
event driven and occur as events take place.
