Business Challenge: Securely Manage Trading Partner Relationships
 |

Hydro One is the largest transmission and distribution system in Ontario, Canada, and one of the ten largest in North America. To meet their business goals, they needed to improve trading partner collaboration while meeting the complex business requirements of the restructuring market. |
|
| As one of the ten largest transmission and distribution systems in North America, Hydro One needed to maintain its existing investment in information technology, while meeting the new complex business requirements of deregulation. |

Head of the Pack
Excelergy Business Runner enabled Hydro One to meet all phased-in certification milestones as outlined by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB). These certification benchmarks require Hydro One to have implemented, integrated and completed testing of all IT systems and processes necessary for competitive market readiness, or face penalties from the OEB. Market readiness requires the proven ability to handle the volume, frequency and complexity of a company's planned transaction load once the market opens to competition. |
