"We were confronted with downsizing the organization and improving our systems while reducing our overall costs. OATI was already providing tagging support for our power business and with the advent of MISO we selected OATi to assist us in our retooling. The OATI proposal gave us what we were looking for a) one system for both power and gas b) simple to use and maintain c) a means to export information to our in-house systems, d) database control and support external to our company e) software cost sharing with many other clients and f) external disaster recovery support. Further, we wanted a system that was used by other companies so that we would have the benefit of their thoughts, and ideas to avoid using an internally created system that wouldn't keep pace with the industry. Being a small organization we found working with OATI met our needs and the professionalism and expertise of OATI it makes it a pleasure to work with them."
