MultiSpeak® is a specification for the exchange of
data among software applications commonly applied in small electric utilities,
such as electric cooperatives. Software providers may use the specification to
write interfaces that will enable the interchange of information with other
software that supports MultiSpeak. The MultiSpeak Initiative is a collaborative
effort of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) along
with over 120 software providers and consultants that serve electric utilities.
The Initiative was formed to foster the development of cost-effective, interoperable
software products for electric utilities.
MultiSpeak makes use of the XML technologies to
construct simple data models for exchange of utility information. A significant
deployment of this technology has been implemented in some utilities.
