Role-based security allows for simple administration. 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.

ISO Bill Verification: Users use this module to verify the bill sent by the ISO against the internal data. Shadow Settlement: 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.
