FlowTalk (National Electricity Market)
FlowTalk currently provides for all processes that are required to be performed by a Retail, Network or Meter Data Participant in aseXML for compliant participation in the Australian National Electricity Market.
These include all NMI Type Requests, Standing Data Requests, CATS (all Outbound and Inbound CRs) B2B SORDs, CDRs, CDNs, SANs and MDMTs. Additionally FlowTalk provides “at call” access to all FRMP reports provided in MSATS including all MDM RMs and NMI Master Reports. FlowTalk incorporates all market-mandated rules and timings on a state-jurisdictional basis.
FlowTalk is built on the Microsoft BizTalk 2006 and Microsoft SQL 2005 Server platform. The product’s integration layer functions as a pre-defined middleware (EAI) layer between the pre-built Market Business Process Layer, the Gateway component and other internal information systems, shielding your business from market changes and providing flexible routing and transport layer where additional business-specific rules can be deployed.
