Clevest Solutions and Milsoft Utility Solutions Achieve
MultiSpeak® Version 3 and Version 4 Certification

Richmond, B.C., October 23, 2009 - Clevest Solutions Inc., the leader in smart grid deployment and operational system support (OSS) software and provider of mobile workforce management solutions, announces that its Mobile Field Force AVL application has passed MultiSpeak® certification for interoperability with Milsoft Utility Solutions’ DisSpatch outage management system (OMS) on MultiSpeak® Version 3, and are the first companies to also pass the latest Version 4 test. 

By integrating Milsoft’s OMS solution with the comprehensive automatic vehicle location (AVL) data provided by Clevest’s Mobile Field Force, utilities can efficiently mobilize crews to outage locations and more quickly restore power to their customers. 

Clevest’s AVL data provides visibility of workers and assets in the field with real-time updates of vehicle GPS location data, vehicle statuses, orders, and order statuses to Milsoft’s DisSpatch Client Map.  The data enhances the utilities’ situational awareness and increases efficiency in their Engineering and Operations groups, while also supporting the safety of their mobile workforces. 

“Certifying our solution with MultiSpeak® demonstrates our commitment to providing customers with powerful and flexible solutions with universal interoperability” says Arthur Lo, CTO of Clevest Solutions.  “Being the first pair of vendors to achieve Version 4 assertion is a significant achievement, and we are excited to be proponents in the MultiSpeak® initiative. We believe MultiSpeak® provides the best platform to support collaboration and promotion of innovative and effective solutions that benefit our utility clients and their end customers.”
