UISOL has developed a portfolio of integration software that has been licensed to more than 50 companies in over 20 countries. Its integration support products help utilities comply with interoperability standards and specifications such as IEC 61968, MultiSpeak and OpenADR.
UISOL’s current chief operating officer, Mark Triplett, has assumed the helm of UISOL Software as president. Mr Triplett has over twenty years of experience in business operations and project management in software development, enterprise application integration, energy consulting, and telecommunications.
UISOL said that its integration software sits between utility enterprise applications and provides inter-application communication, workflow, secure business-to-business transactions, and real-time visibility and business intelligence. They leverage integration software technologies such as enterprise service bus (middleware), business process management (workflow), and complex event processing (CEP) from UISOL Silicon Valley alliance partners such as Progress Software Corporation and Tibco Software.
The company added that its integration software offerings are aimed at reducing the cost of integration and reducing the time line and risks associated with systems integration efforts.
A number of other integration software solutions are at various stages of development. A comprehensive, CIM-based solution for integration of distribution applications such as Outage Management Systems (OMS), Distribution Management Systems (DMS), and Meter Data Management Systems (MDMS) is being introduced to the market this year.
A new application of CEP technology for intelligence monitoring in smart grid is being prototyped at the UISOL solution center in Calgary, Alberta.
Ali Vojdani, CEO of UISOL, said: “Setting up our systems integration software business as a separate company, fully backed by UISOL, will allow us to better scale our software business.
“As an example, utilities will be able to choose UISOL as the systems integration partner to implement DRBizNet, or choose other systems integrators. This could be particularly important outside of North America where UISOL can extend its reach through global systems integrators.”
