Operation Technology, Inc. (OTI), developer and designer of the
ETAP power system enterprise solution, has announced the launch
of ETAP Advantage, a new licensing option that offers commercial
ETAP users performance reports and verification & validation
certification proving that ETAP power management products meet
the strictest levels of performance accuracy and precision.
Developed
for organizations needing high levels of performance scrutiny,
ETAP Advantage provides documentation certifying that ETAP power
management software has been rigorously tested, verified & validated
against field results, real system measurements, established programs
and hand calculations. In addition, performance reports provide
an in-depth accountability listing of ETAP’s proof of correctness.
With
ETAP Advantage licensing, ETAP users can minimize the internal
manpower required for software validation and significantly reduce
the costs of performance assurance. Furthermore, ETAP Advantage
licensing makes it easier for companies to take advantage of the
latest software advancements and discontinue obsolete programs
that remain in use due to the high costs of revalidating newer
software solutions.
ETAP Advantage licensing offers a new tier of
certification that is not provided with the ETAP Commercial license
option. ETAP is already the de facto standard among facilities
requiring the highest levels of performance certainty, having been
adopted by more than two thirds of U.S. nuclear power generation
plants.
“The demand for commercial software excellence and execution
confidence is growing,” says Farrokh Shokooh, OTI President
and CEO. “We recognize this trend and have addressed it by
offering commercial ETAP users many of the features derived from
the nuclear accreditation process, ensuring a standard of excellence
to all industries.”
- Verified & Validated
Software and Libraries. ETAP Advantage licensees will
receive documentation confirming that every ETAP release is validated
per the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, 10 CFR 50, Appendix B,
Title 10 CFR Part 21, ANSI/ASME N45.2, ASME NQA-1, ANSI/IEEE
Std 730.1, CAN/CSA-Q396.1.2 and ANSI N45.2.2.
- Performance
Reporting. These performance reports
keep ETAP Advantage licensees updated with program deviations,
limitations, and detailed listings of changes from one release
to the next. Deviations are reported within five working days
from discovery. Reporting includes minor deviations in calculations,
library data, program interface, output reports, plots, project
database, etc. Note: Major/substantial errors will be reported
to all ETAP users.
