(Application Management is software that manages and monitors the availability and components of network-centered applications within an organization, such as e-mail, intranets and client/server).
When Application Management is outsourced to an IT service provider, both parties need to have a clear understanding what activities will be outsourced and what activities will remain with the outsourcing organization.
To make that easier, Ordina has developed Dynamic Delivery, which selects the best IT service model for Application Management.
When you have defined what activities are in scope for an Application Management service offering, you are able to use this model as a basis to estimate the related effort and cost. In this webinar, you will learn how Ordina was able to do this in a transparent way, based on experience data by:
- Combining the vision of their Service Component Model with the estimating power and references of SEER-IT.
- Translating the Service Component Model to WBS elements that are predominantly based on the knowledge bases within SEER-IT.
- Configuring the WBS elements to be able to estimate Application Management for Oracle EBS.
It shows how we converted our model for estimating application management into a working model using SEER for IT and SEER for Software knowledge bases.

On December 20th, 2012, the US EPA finalized the Clean Air Act pollution standards known as ICI Boiler MACT. This standard applies to large boilers in a wide range of industrial facilities and institutions. This webinar, held January 30, 2013, discusses a US DOE sponsored technical assistance program to ensure that major sources burning coal or oil have information on cost-effective clean energy strategies for compliance , such as natural gas combined heat and power (CHP). Boiler owners and operators can learn about clean energy strategies to meet EPA boiler rules through DOE’s Boiler MACT Technical Assistance Program, which has been piloted in Ohio since March 2012 and is now being implemented throughout the Country. John Cuttica, Director of the Midwest Clean Energy Application Center and the Energy Resources Center, both located at the University of Illinois at Chicago, discusses how our Midwest industrial and institutional companies can take advantage of the technical assistance program. (this is the slides-only version; full video version is available at https://www.slideshare.net/MidwestEfficiency/combined-heat-and-power-as-a-boiler-mact-compliance-strategy-16406830)
One of the most challenging evaluation questions for residential lighting energy efficiency programs in the U.S. is the identification and correction for net-to-gross (NTG) effects such as free ridership and spillover. Over the last twenty years, considerable effort and financial resources have been directed toward accurately measuring these effects. Furthermore, the correction for these NTG effects has direct, and sometimes, drastic impact on program savings.
APT and Opinion Dynamics discuss a new framework for the estimation of free ridership in upstream lighting programs grounded in sound, economically rational decision making on the part of retail partners. This approach, built on functional retail behavior, provides a clearer more insightful look into the elements comprising the retail sales environment thus providing program implementers with a more predictable outcome of end results – up front.
Motivating commercial customers to actively and consistently apply energy efficient practices is quickly becoming central to many utility business practices.

The document summarizes the growth of utility energy efficiency programs in the Midwest over the last ten years. It discusses how the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) has played a key role in supporting these programs by designing and administering programs, evaluating technologies, promoting best practices, and advancing policy. The presentation notes that while traditional programs focusing on lighting, appliances, and commercial and industrial incentives have achieved significant savings, utilities will need to explore new program areas and approaches to sustain savings given rising codes and standards and program saturation.
The MEEA Policy Webinar: National Study on the Energy Savings of Appliance Standards was held on Thursday March 29, 2012. The webinar outlined the recently released report, The Efficiency Boom: Cashing In on the Savings from Appliance Standards by the Appliance Standards Awareness Project (ASAP) and the American Council on an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). The webinar highlighted some of the key findings from the report, particularly the enormous savings that have already been achieved from existing standards and the potential for additional savings from new and updated standards. The report reviewed 34 products, and the webinar focused on three areas: products appropriate for state standards; products where state support is requested at the federal level; and products currently covered by utility programs. A regional look was given on the current and potential cost effective savings from appliance standards, as well as an in-depth look at specific natural gas-fired products that are relevant to the Midwest including: clothes washers, boilers, furnaces, and unit heaters. The webinar concluded with a discussion that focused on gas programs and analysis of the potential impact of standards on the cost effectiveness of utility programs.
In the latest in MEEA's Marketing Energy Efficiency webinar series, Drew McCartt, Senior Vice-President at Event Marketing Strategies talks about how face-to-face marketing through events is impacting the growth of energy efficiency in the Midwest.
