Managing reporting deadlines, updating registration data, and processing alleged or confirmed violations is complex. OATI delivers webCDMS (Compliance Data Management System) to provide a toolset for both Regional Entities and Registered Entities to facilitate compliance activities identified in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program (CMEP).
As a robust and effective way to manage compliance and enforcement processes, webCDMS provides:
- The ability to track processes and tasks performed by Regional and Registered Entities so that a Registered Entity’s compliance objectives align with the Standards and Requirements of the NERC Annual Implementation Plan.
- Two (2) distinct functional categories: Compliance and Enforcement to monitor and track reporting requirements and activities related to confirmed violations, mitigation plan activities, penalties, and settlements.
- Parameters and guidelines created to precisely align with the rules and regulations prescribed by the NERC CMEP and any other requirements as determined by NERC, making compliance easy.
- An intuitive, user friendly interface to administer the CMEP. Including the implementation of the Compliance and Enforcement processes described in the CMEP.
- A secure interface to submit confidential data in a manner that aligns with the reporting requirements of NERC and the Regional Entities.
- NERC Web Services to transfer Registration, Technical Feasibility Exception, Violations, and any other data to NERC as required.
- NERC Web Services to maintain NERC Standard Requirements, Reliability Functions, Program Year Actively Monitored Standards, and any other lists or objects as required by the webCDMS application.
- Historical records and logs that may be used as an audit trail to detail actions that have occurred within the webCDMS application.
- Reports for easy use in NERC reporting or audit requirements.
