Integrated suite of tools
"Having one vendor where all of those different tools and solutions work with each other, it just made sense for us instead of having a vendor to do this and a vendor to do that."
- Jason Smith, Senior Engineer, Santee Cooper
More time for analysis
"We're able to do our jobs faster and easier, and it just gives us time to focus on analyzing the data, instead of preparing data."
- Brad Lafler, Market Optimization Lead, Lincoln Electric System
Unified platform and team
"I think the fact that multiple departments can use the same tool, it kind of helps bring all of us together speaking the same language."
- John Mayhew, Senior Real Time Trader, PNM
Trust through transparency
"I see our PCI relationship more like a peer or a teammate than just a provider or supplier."
- Juan Guichard, CEO, Ammper Energia
Rapid ROI realized
"PCI's integrated solutions have delivered significant cost savings and efficiency gains for Santee Cooper. Their tools and support have been invaluable to our business."
- Chris Moore, Business Analyst, Santee Cooper
Tailored software solutions
"If PCI isn't able to find a solution directly in their products, we work with them in several different capacities to come up with customizable solutions in their product. And those have worked very well, even through upgrades in their system."
- Tucker Smith, Sr. Market Coordinator, Basin Electric
