CONSULTING

"It's the detail that counts" when it comes to in-depth understanding of your energy business problem. Whether you are in the throes of starting up an ISO/RTO, honing your infrastructure to handle your energy business in multiple markets, or looking to position your functional software solution with a community of users, Power Catalyst will deliver the data management backbone for your project.

Project Leadership

The value your energy data brings to your business is Power Catalyst's priority.  We right-size the staffing, the processes, and the standards, and we help you select technology to complement your solution.  We adapt our detailed project plans to your energy data management project from vision, through planning and implementation, to knowledge transfer and deployment.

Business Process Engineering

Our energy business and systems experts can lead your business process design and engineering efforts.  We delve deep to document your energy business needs, and leverage our experience on similar projects to help you anticipate needs you may not foresee. By peeling back layers of your business, we identify the specific areas that are hampering your success, and point out their relationships to other areas that are affected. As a result, you can plan a step-wise course of action that focuses your limited resources most effectively. Reaching small results quickly, you will increase enthusiasm on your own team, and raise participation in the improvement process for the long haul.
