An energy marketer and portfolio manager

Project Overview

Our client, a full service energy marketer and portfolio manager, engaged Information Integrators Inc. services to assist in supporting an off the shelf energy management application written by EnSite.

With the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act our client was in need of application integration and administration skills that were compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Solution

We provided our customized application integration methodology which consists of but not limited too:

Use Case Narratives
Navigation Story Boards
Test Case Validations
Automated build procedures
Documentation Generation

Working with the client, formalized work requests are generated. Use Case(s) are then created/modified detailing the desired business processes. Supporting Story Board and test case logic are reviewed and accepted by the client. Finally, and appropriate design and implementation is constructed and released into a controlled testing environment. Upon documented client acceptance, the deliverable(s) is(are) migrated into production by an application administrator.

Also, working with the application vendor, we implemented Sarbanes-Oxley compliant application support and release protocols.
