Microsoft Whitepaper - Southern Company
One of the mission-critical processes at Southern Nuclear—the nuclear facilities subsidiary of energy giant Southern Company—is granting clearances for employees and contractors who enter its facilities. That process was managed by an aging mainframe that could no longer handle the increasing pace of new federal regulations and changing business needs, so Southern Nuclear turned to Computer Technology Solutions, a Microsoft ® Gold Certified Partner. Together, they created the Employee Plant Access Control Tracking system (EmPACT™), a Web-based solution running on Microsoft technologies. As a result, Southern Nuclear has gained the flexibility to meet new regulations and requirements, has cut the length of the authorization process by 33 percent, and has saved 74 percent of the cost of maintaining the former mainframe solution.
