SCANA Streamlines Development, Cuts Costs With Business Process Management Solution

Tags:
application servers

Overview SCANA is a holding company that includes electric and natural gas utilities in the Carolinas and Georgia. Years ago, SCANA deployed Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002 to support critical Business Process Management (BPM) functions such as billing, payroll, and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions with vendors. By 2006, the number of EDI transactions had grown too large to manually audit and reconcile. Additionally, SCANA wanted to more fully implement an efficient Service Oriented Architecture and to streamline development of BPM applications. To address these challenges, SCANA upgraded to Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2, part of the Microsoft application platform.
