ABOUT Verisae

Verisae is a privately held company based in Minneapolis, MN serving the unique needs of Multi-Site facility owners. We have about 50 employees in several countries and close business partners dedicated to serving our clients with the best business process software.

Verisae delivers a powerful suite of web-based process management solutions for facilities, the assets in those facilities, the energy those assets consume, the carbon emissions they emit, and the people who manage maintain them.

The Verisae solution is the first web-enabled site and asset management software created to meet the unique needs of multi-site owners. We offer a powerful suite of web-based process management solutions for facilities, the assets in those facilities, and the people who manage them. We built our solution with one goal in mind: to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership, lowering operating costs of your sites and the equipment and energy within them.

Combining information in multi-site facilities to review asset procurement, maintenance on those assets, energy consumption of the assets and the entire building, and developing and lowering the carbon footprint of the enterprise defines our goal. By combining a robust site and equipment asset database, call center dispatching, and work order automation, we have built an integrated, retail-focused, Service Process Network. This network links your sites with the teams that monitor their performance and keep them maintained. Verisae delivers savings whether you maintain your sites with in-house maintenance, outsourced maintenance, or a combination of the two.

For the first time, you can see the operational status of the equipment in your stores on a real-time basis. By eliminating paper based processes, your team initiates and manages every step of the maintenance process faster and more accurately. Best of all, each member of the service chain gains great value and payback through the use of the system.

With the Verisae system, you will have the tools to substantially drive operating costs down and profits up. In a high volume, lower margin business, you know how important that is. Gain unprecedented control and new levels of insight into the "Total Cost of Ownership" on your stores and the equipment within them.

Verisae's Delivery Model is Software as a Service: Software as a service (SaaS) is a model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided by Verisae to customers across the Internet. By eliminating the need to install and run the application on your own computers, SaaS alleviates your burden of software maintenance, ongoing operation, and support.

Using SaaS can reduce the up-front expense of software purchases. verisae hosts the application on our own web server, or this function may be handled by a third-party application service provider (ASP). This way, you reduce your investment on expensive IT hardware and maintenance costs.

Smart Grid Projects

Jun 27, 2009 2:47 PM CDT
Report PDF (0 kb) Smart grid projects are aimed at leaving a lasting legacy in energy independence and prosperity. There are several key factors in which entities can realize success, including tracking how power is used and being able to control their own usage; having the ability to lower their energy bills by shifting a portion of their usage to off-peak times; being capable of monitoring energy usage at the device level; and being able to better fulfill energy needs through demand response.

Because certain energy types are a major contributor to global warming, smart grid projects will benefit the environment immensely by reducing pollutants, greenhouse gas emissions and water usage. Action is needed in order to preserve the health of our planet in the future.

There are several initiatives underway aimed at energy efficiency and independence. For instance, the U.S. Congress has directed the National Institute of Standards and Technology under the U.S. Commerce Department to create a Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Roadmap that establishes priorities in the areas of transmission and distribution; building to grid for commercial entities; home to grid for residential customers; industrial to grid for the industry sector; business and policy to address business and political issues; and cyber security. The document is expected to be released in September 2009.
