May 19, 2020 – PCI is pleased to announce the successful transition of Louisiana-based utility Cleco Power (Cleco) to its industry leading cloud platform for the company’s Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) market participation requirements.

The transition to the secure PCI Cloud allows Cleco to streamline and simplify its information technology landscape. The migration was accomplished successfully with zero down-time. PCI’s cloud-hosted services cover the following:

  • Industry certified security compliance
  • Managed services for software maintenance
  • High-availability for disaster recovery and business continuity
  • 24×7 system health check

“PCI has been a proven partner and a reliable software provider for our MISO market requirements. Transitioning to their leading cloud platform has proven to be key in managing costs while maintaining a highly reliable software ecosystem,” said Tal Walker, Manager of Energy Operations at Cleco.

“Cleco has been a valued client of PCI’s for over 15-years and has continued to expand the software footprint by adding various software modules. PCI is proud to have Cleco as our long-term client and appreciates the trust it has placed in PCI,” said Jason Hebert, Vice President at PCI.

PCI is the leading software provider of market operating and analytics solutions for MISO market participants. PCI clients in the MISO market represent more than 75 percent of power generation capacity and rely on PCI for their mission critical operations.

The PCI platform for MISO participants comes out-of-the-box with all the required data interfaces, embedded analytics, business process automation, and reporting capabilities that offer unparalleled “end-to-end” support for various business functions including Energy Trading & Risk Management. It allows clients to streamline operations through both forward-looking optimization strategies and post-analysis.
