Can service-oriented architecture (SOA) help alleviate global warming?
A unique SOA application linking energy providers with their customers to help conservation while meeting growing global demand for electricity has been developed by KLG Systel Ltd., a business lifecycle management vendor based in India.
Connectgaia is an intelligent monitoring engine that tracks usage of power by electricity providers, companies and individuals, said Sumit Goel, general manager of Systel. Instead of auditing power consumption after usage, which has been the standard business model for electric companies, Connectgaia helps track and manage power in real-time through SOA-based connectivity.
