August 24, 2004 – Roslyn, New York – Hudson Energy Services LLC has reason to celebrate the one year anniversary of outsourcing their EDI transaction management processing to EC Infosystems Corporation, namely the results.

Hudson Energy is one of the largest independent energy marketers for natural gas and/or electricity in New York. EC Infosystems supports all of Hudson Energy’s transaction management in New York to process large amounts of rich data from the meter reading systems in order to provide efficient enrollment and timely meter readings to customers. This means that Hudson Energy’s customers get more information, more quickly and more cost-effectively, and that’s a milestone worth marking.

EC Infosystems’ industry-proven transaction processing systems can scale to handle massive amounts of data and are specifically designed with a native ability to interface with almost all the industry’s EDI protocols, including Gas Industry Standards Board (GISB) and NEASB standards.

Most deregulated states have mandated that utility and energy service companies use EDI technology to send enrollments or to receive meter readings from transmission and distribution providers. However, the cost of developing the technology to do this to meet compliance in one state, let alone address inter-state transactions, is cost prohibitive both in financial and competitive terms.

“Continuing to work with EC Infosystems enables us to operate cost-effectively and pass those savings to our customers,” said Abe Grohman, Director of Operations, Hudson Energy Services. “With EC Infosystems, we can direct the time and resources that would have been used to develop in-house EDI systems to other things – like excellent customer service.”

“Hudson Energy’s use of EC Infosystems’ services demonstrates their commitment to continually finding new ways to create benefits for their customers,” said Mohan Wanchoo, Senior Vice President, EC Infosystems. “Our continuing relationship with Hudson Energy is just another indication that we are becoming the EDI transaction management solution of choice for energy marketers, retailers and suppliers.”
