Convergence Solutions LLC

Formed in 2011 to specifically address Retail Access/Customer Choice solutions, Convergence Solutions brings together the two most experienced Gas Retail Access software development companies in the industry, Bridge Technology Systems, Inc. (BTS) and PMT Holdings, Inc. (PMT), as one organization. BTS and PMT began working together in 1995, when New York State first introduced the Gas Retail Access Program. Ever since then we have been successfully applying proven processes and deep operational expertise to analyze business operations and develop software solutions in support of Natural Gas deregulation at the retail level.

The two companies originally came together to develop and implement a solution to enable a major utility to comply with the NYS Public Service Commissions natural gas deregulation directives. BTS and PMT expanded and enhanced that initial application as it was rolled out by other utility companies, where it is still in use today. Over time, the two companies co-developed a natural gas retail access and customer choice management solution called Gas Tracking System (GTS). As a result of the co-development of GTS, Convergence Solutions was formed for the express purpose of developing and supporting gas retail access systems.

Gas Tracking System

Retail Access/Customer Choice was introduced to increase competition in the energy marketplace by encouraging more choices and competitive pricing for the supply of natural gas and electricity. Consumers can now shop for their energy supply from a variety of non-utility providers. However, gas utilities are still responsible for delivering gas to consumers through their local transportation and distribution services. This new way of servicing customers has forced utilities to alter their natural gas business practices on many levels. The Gas Tracking System is designed to be the central information repository for utilities to manage their natural gas Retail Access/Customer Choice programs. Gas Tracking System was designed and is supported by a team of technical and business experts with over 60+ years of experience working in and designing information systems for natural gas utilities including Retail Access/ Customer Choice program solutions.
