FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
USPowerSolutions Announces
Release of PowerUp
Turnkey software system
for Pennsylvania Market Entry
CAMBRIDGE, MA., November 16, 1998 – USPowerSolutions
, the developer of web-based information and communications systems
for Competitive Supply Companies in the deregulated energy market,
today announced the December 1, 1998 release of PowerUp, the Company's
turnkey solution for retail electricity market entry in Pennsylvania.
USPowerSolutions is experienced in matching technological advances
with applied solutions for the energy industry, having automated
the first kWh of deregulated electricity in the nation.
Scheduled for deployment on December 1, 1998, PowerUp is a limited
license version of the Company's flagship information and communications
system, PowerSolution3.0™. PowerUp automates, manages and integrates:
- Utility/EDC/DISCO EDI communications
- Customer billing and collections
- Customer/account management
PowerUp provides Competitive Suppliers with the information and
communications systems necessary for successful market entry in
Pennsylvania. Competitive Suppliers will benefit from seamless access
to and control over their customer and account information and integrating
such information with a complete billing and customer management
solution. PowerUp overcomes the operational and logistical hurdles
faced by Competitive Suppliers wishing to seize the opportunities
of deregulation.
"By coupling PowerUp's short deployment time of as little
as four weeks with the ability to seamlessly scale PowerUp to a
full PowerSolution3.0 deployment as our clients' needs expand, USPowerSolutions
has ensured that Competitive Suppliers are able to capitalize on
the short-term opportunities in Pennsylvania as well as the long-term
opportunities in the rest of the country," said USPowerSolutions
President, Alexander Kanuth. "Competitive Suppliers that choose
PowerUp in December will have a fully-functional, end-to-end operations
solution when Pennsylvania opens in January. Additionally, because
they are fully web-based and designed specifically for customizability,
both PowerUp and PowerSolution3.0 keep clients' costs low, both
during installation and future system expansions."
The company's use of the Internet as an application environment
backed by an Object-Oriented Database from Object Design, IncŪ (www.objectdesign.com)
the Java programming language combine to provide clients with a
highly flexible, customizable, scalable, and reliable information
and communications solution.
