CiSCO has developed a solution to your reporting needs for ECMPS reporting – our ECMPS compatible software is called breez75X. This software package is a modification/extension of our highly acclaimed breez75 software. The breez75X software will be delivered starting in the spring of 2008 when sites can start reporting using the ECMPS format and Client Tool (or at a later date if sites choose to wait and continue reporting under the current format). Sites purchasing breez75X will receive an upgrade to the latest version of CeDAR as well as a monitoring plan review and update – including the addition of the necessary CAIR information if applicable to your site. [CiSCO will also work with sites that need to report under the CAMR program and work with various Mercury CEMS or other Mercury test methods to report Mercury data as part of the EDR. Please contact CiSCO for more specifics on Mercury reporting and monitoring plan changes that are necessary.]

Quite simply, generating an EDR using breez75X makes EDR creation, well, a breeze! If your site has not yet switched to breez75X, it is time to consider the switch that will speed your EDR generating time dramatically, make file maintenance much easier and, with the purchase of breez75X, each site will receive a free upgrade to the latest version of CeDAR, the data acquisition and reporting software, along with a complete monitoring plan review and update (including updates to CAIR if and when it is applicable). Additionally, every site that has purchased the breez75X software will be given a free seat in a workshop on breez75X and the ECMPS Client Tool. These workshops will be offered in our Denver offices starting in mid-March 2008 and continuing throughout the year (sites are responsible for all travel expenses - only the workshop is free).

Upon purchase of the new breez75X software CiSCO will send a CD with the software to the site. We will log on remotely using pcAnywhere (or other method such as VPN) and we will install breez75 as well as the latest version of CeDAR (free upgrade to the latest version of CeDAR is included in the price) onto the CEMS/DAHS computer.

If you are interested in purchasing the breez75X software, or learning more about it, please contact CiSCO at softwaresupport@ciscocems.com. If you’re already a breez75 user, you know how easy it is to create EDR’s and you are already reaping the benefits of the current version of this software product. [Note: EPA has stated that the new ECMPS Client Tool software will not be supported in Windows 2000.]

CiSCO offers a complete array of EDR support options for those plants who wish to have CiSCO create their EDR’s for them as well as options for limited and unlimited telephone support for those who need a little extra help. CiSCO can provide you with a list of the various support programs – for more information, please contact CiSCO at softwaresupport@ciscocems.com (discounts are available on breez75X for sites that have extended service contracts).
