OMAHA, Neb.--(Business Wire)--
EnSite Incorporated, a leading provider of software solutions and transaction
management services for energy companies and service providers, announces the
extension of the hosting and services agreement with the manager of the School
Project for Utility Rate Reduction ("SPURR"). SPURR provides gas supply
management and purchasing, regulatory, and gas operations services to nearly
4,000 facilities operated by over 200 public K-12 districts, community colleges,
county offices of education, universities, and other public agencies in
California.
The initial hosting agreement with EnSite, starting in May, 2003, met SPURR`s
unique, integrated customer care and billing requirements. The July 2009 renewal
represents the second extension of the agreement. EnSite will continue to
provide EDI transaction management services for electronic billing and payment
transactions in conjunction with SPURR`s trading partners, along with invoice
processing services utilizing EnSite Safari Suite®.
Data operations for EnSite`s Hosting Service are housed at the state-of-the-art
Omaha data center of EnSite business partner CoSentry Business Resiliency
Solutions, providing a cost-effective deployment model to match energy
marketers` business needs today and support future growth.
Compared to in-house or custom energy applications, the EnSite Safari Suite®
platform offers proven and comprehensive features and functionality, as well as
EnSite`s commitment to continually upgrade and enhance the application. Clients
benefit from EnSite`s ongoing marketplace exposure, and can be assured that they
are using the most innovative and advanced operational platform available. This
translates into improved efficiency and customer satisfaction, as well as the
tools to provide additional services and products to customers.
"Safari Suite is an essential tool for us to manage our members` energy
procurement needs," said Michael Rochman, Managing Director of SPURR. "EnSite
remains a valuable technology partner, responsive to industry changes and
supportive in helping us manage our energy program."
"We`re pleased that EnSite Safari Suite® will continue to play a key role in
