Case Study: California Energy Commission improves database evaluation and application planning with Capitol Tech Solutions

California Energy Commission extends CTS assessment after 2019 database review

The California Energy Commission, a state energy policy agency, needed to evaluate and assess its aging Renewables Portfolio Standards Online System, which was difficult to maintain and required updates to its business rules and architecture. They partnered with Capitol Tech Solutions via a CMAS contract for an expert application and database assessment.

Capitol Tech Solutions conducted a thorough evaluation of the system's C#.Net code and MSSQL database, reviewing for best practices in design, security, and performance. They provided detailed documentation and change proposals. The solution was so effective that the California Energy Commission extended the contract with Capitol Tech Solutions to continue the evaluation of other application sections, ensuring a cost-effective path forward without a complete rewrite.
