Effectiveness Review questionnaire by the TABASC – responses invited by 9 October 2019

9 September 2019

The Effectiveness Review

The Smart Energy Code (SEC) Sections F1.4 (e), (f) and (g) set out the requirements for the Technical Architecture and Business Architecture Sub-Committee (TABASC), when directed to do so by the Panel, to review the effectiveness of the End-to-End Technical Architecture, Business Architecture and the HAN requirements.

Third issue of the Effectiveness Review questionnaire

The TABASC is engaging with SEC Parties and DCC Users, with a focus on operational DCC Users or those undergoing the User Entry Process. This is the third issue of the review. Your responses will help inform whether further investigation is required.

The findings will be shared with the SEC Panel and its Sub-Committees only to inform whether further work is required in relation to the effectiveness of the of the Technical Architecture, Business Architecture, HAN requirements and any operational issues affecting the User experience with the End-to-End processes, including those managed and provided by the DCC.

Confidentiality

The survey is being undertaken by SECAS, on behalf of the TABASC. All information you provide will be treated in confidence. Your responses will be analysed and any resulting recommendations reported to the Panel and its Sub-Committees.

If a DCC User identifies an emerging problem, it may be necessary for the TABASC to obtain further details for clarification. For this reason, the questionnaire requests the name of your organisation and contact details for any necessary follow-up activities.
