Abstract :
The MultiSpeakreg initiative is a collaborative effort of software vendors sponsored by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. The Initiative has developed and continues to refine a specification for integration of software applications widely applied at distribution utilities. MultiSpeak Version 3.0 supports real time integration using Web services. Implementations of MultiSpeak integration at distribution cooperatives are becoming widespread. San Bernard Electric Cooperative, Inc. has implemented MultiSpeak-compatible web services interfaces between a SCADA system, an AMR system, an IVR system, and an outage management system. This paper discusses how the web services integration is accomplished and illustrates the business process advantages that can be gained by using standards-based, real time integration
