Build It or Buy It

"We know the details of the requirements your organization faces…existing systems will not provide the data streams necessary to satisfy regulatory and other obligations."

There really are only two choices:
"you can build a system or you can buy it."
Amos Tsikayi
V.P. FirstPoint Information Systems and Compass Integration Director
 

Build It

FirstPoint has invested over 4 years, 40,000 man-hours and $4 million in developing this advanced system. In order to satisfy all requirements of data transmission, it was necessary to involve the history of the industry, constant regulatory adjustment, customer requirements, business model variations, etc. We are a company built from the ground up with extensive utility industry proficiency and experience.
