"EC Power's pass through process for GISB/NAESB EDI/EDM is a great way to stay in sync with all the different markets and the latest EDI/EDM versions," states Jesse Cline, EC Power's Senior Business Analyst. "This application is configured by Trading Partner (TP) so a client can trade with many TPs using different EDI/EDM versions. This is the same certified EDI/EDM solution that EC Power uses in many current production markets and allows a client to become NAESB and state PUC compliant and to get away from VAN charges."
