OATI webOMS can manage any planned or forced transmission and generation equipment outages using centralized — but flexible — Outage Request Tickets. webOMS provides full outage management functionality to ISO staff and external participants. This versatile product also provides meticulous audit tracking and a complete archive of activities on each outage.

OATI webOMS is a robust solution that is designed to handle all of ISO’s outage workflow and data functions.

Through webOMS, transmission and generation providers within ISO are able to enter their outages into the ISO system via an interactive GUI or full featured APIs.

OATI webOMS encompasses all business entities within a company and facilitates outage coordination from start to finish.
