ECMPS Support

No ECMPS Meeting at the May EPRI CEMS User Group Meeting in Cleveland

Over the past several years while ECMPS was being prepared for its launch, CAMD held ECMPS Stakeholder meetings in association with the EPRI CEMS User Group meetings which were held every spring. These were valuable meetings for discussing the new process, demonstrating the Client Tool, answering questions, and receiving feedback. CAMD and ECMPS Technical Support are very appreciative of all of the questions and feedback that were provided by users through those meetings. That interaction with users was an important part of the success of ECMPS.

Since the last ECMPS Stakeholder meeting in St. Louis, ECMPS has completed a year of mandatory use. During that year, the process and the Client Tool have continued to mature. However, no major functionality has been added to the Client Tool. And, as we see from technical support tickets, the vast majority of users' questions are very specific to their data. Given this situation, CAMD has decided to not host an ECMPS meeting at the May 2010 CEMS User Group Meeting in Cleveland.

Feedback and suggested enhancements which come from users are still very important, and CAMD would appreciate if users would provide that feedback through technical support. In addition, as in years past, CAMD will host a booth in the exhibition hall of the CEMS User Group meeting, and ECMPS users are encouraged to come by to visit with the staff who will be there to receive feedback and answer questions.
