How Effectively are You Managing the NERC Regulatory Process?
 |
Keeping up with changing NERC standards, knowing how to interpret NERC standards, and a lack of experience complying with NERC standards is common.
It’s a good thing the NERC Compliance Appraisal program:
- makes sure the right compliance infrastructure, processes, and documentation are
in place,
- ensures that NERC processes and procedures are written so not to be
misinterpreted,
- coordinates compliance across multiple, and dispersed,
business units, and
- implements Performance Indicators to monitor NERC.
Compliance Appraisal allows you to focus on other core business functions, confident that your NERC program, procedures, and documentation meet NERC standards.

Certrec’s TAKTIX is your NERC-specific project management system that bridges geography, streamlines project planning and project tracking, facilitates moving large and diverse project documents between teams and locations, and allows planning authors and project reviewers to interface with each others' comments simultaneously.
With TAKTIX, NERC project documents are posted and organized into electronic libraries so that team members have instant access to the information. The one set of correct project documentation are controlled at the administrator level – eliminating individual emails, overnight CDs, and confusion.
Because TAKTIX is web-based, team members can collaborate on projects and document development as though they were in the same room together – whether on site, at the hotel, on their iPhone and iPad when catching a flight.
