Benefits
Proven, secure, enterprise-level system that can handle up to several hundred users. A centralized, web-based system allows users distributed over wide geographic locations to utilize one system for all their requirements, from data collection to analysis, and reporting. Role-based security allows for simple administration. The multi-ISO platform allows users to use the system across different ISOs using a single application. Meter Verification: When the same transmission and generation data point can be retrieved from more than one source, determinations and resolutions of more reliable data are needed. PowerTRACKER’s meter verification process performs the verification and submits correct data to the ISO. ISO Bill Verification: Users use this module to verify the bill sent by the ISO against the internal data. Shadow Settlement: This allows clients to view and understand the financial exposure of the company based on its operations within the ISO market on a real-time basis. This allows for management reporting of various financial metrics such as cash flow and profit and loss to be viewed after each hour of operations to allow for better financial management and maximization of profits. Ease of customization: Integ recognizes that each client’s processes, data flows, and systems are unique. PowerTRACKER is a flexible, customizable system that will ensure that the system fits your current processes and not the other way around. Corporations do not often realize or compute the switching costs from changing processes to meet the requirements of inflexible software. What-If Analysis: PowerTRACKER enables the users to employ historical data to create scenarios to forecast P&L and detailed credits and charges. Integration with ISO systems: PowerTRACKER allows reporting of every data point across all the ISOs. This allows users to analyze data using different views and metrics.
