IMPLEMENTATION

Power Catalyst supports the implementation of your client's project in the following roles:

Project Management

Our project managers bring data management and energy business experience together to lead the implementation of your client's data foundations.  We coordinate across other areas of the overall implementation effort to align dependencies and maximize efficiency of the teams.  We target the milestones set by the business drivers, estimate the effort involved, design roadmaps to achieving success, and develop concrete project plans.  Working with the rest of the project management team, we right-size governance, risk and issue management, change management, completion tracking, and budget monitoring to fit your effort.

Business Process Refactoring

Our energy business and systems experts can lead your customer's business process design and refactoring efforts.  They bring best practices from years of experience inside RTOs and ISOs, as well as market participant trading floors and settlements groups.  Using formal analytical methods, they develop visualizations of your customer’s business, identify critical paths for information and value, and collaborate with you on a transformation plan to achieve the desired results.

Software Development

Our development managers tune well-known software development strategies to your client's specific business style and establish a software life cycle that is agreeable to everyone involved.  They start with the roadmap, and lay out the requirements gathering, test planning, detailed specification, software procurement and development, testing, training and deployment phases.  They can follow an interactive approach or apply an agile methodology, in tune with the rest of your project.  On the back-end, Power Catalyst brings top engineering talent to bear on the database, application, and user interface tiers of your information management framework.  We pride ourselves on delivering solutions consistently on time and on budget.

In addition, Power Catalyst has filled the following specific roles on past projects that involved consulting companies:

• Project Management and Leadership
• Enterprise and Integration Architecture
• Data Management Framework Design
• Business Process Architecture
• Systems Integration Design
• Business Requirements Analysis
• Technical Systems Analysis

We pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to needed data management roles that reduce implementation risk on your project and deliver a superior customer experience.
