PowerSYSTEM Center

Vendor‑neutral OT device management that keeps field reality, operations, planning, and compliance in lockstep

Complete substation device lifecycle management

PSC provides unified management across mixed‑vendor fleets with built‑in compliance, evidence generation, and audit trails. Proven at scale across 65+ countries and 6 continents, with NERC CIP compliance enabled in 39 of 50 US states. From inventory to firmware updates, configuration management to access control — all through native protocols with vendor‑approved workflows.

Audit‑ready

Evidence you can hand to an auditor without a scramble

Designed by users, for users

Real users are part of our continual feedback loop to drive the design and implementation of features within PowerSYSTEM Center. User feedback is critical to ensure PSC solves their problems in a way that fits naturally with how they work.

Dashboards and reporting

Customizable dashboards and reports ensure you can quickly get the right information in front of the right users. Customization is done through simple UI-based query building tools or through PowerSYSTEM Center Query Language (PSCQL) for complex reporting and visualization.

  • Custom dashboard builder
  • PSCQL query language
  • Automated report scheduling
  • Export capabilities

Comprehensive audit trails

Every activity within PowerSYSTEM Center is logged into the system. This ensures a complete audit trail starting from initial installation all the way to the present time.

  • Immutable logs
  • Complete activity history
  • Compliance-ready exports
  • Searchable records

Smart notifications

Monitor activity records and generate immediate email notifications to the right people. Customize email templates to ensure the right information is sent to the right people.

  • Real-time alerts
  • Custom email templates
  • Role-based notifications
  • Report attachments

Work order management

Organize and manage field work. Assign workers to groups of devices and statements of work to be performed. Track the progress of workers on those assignments.

  • Field work organization
  • Worker assignment
  • Progress tracking
  • Temporary device access

Business integration

Automatically push activity records to syslog or SIEM servers. Use the REST API to build integrations with enterprise systems like IBM MQ, SAP, or SCADA EMS/DMS systems.

  • Syslog/SIEM integration
  • REST API access
  • Enterprise system connectivity
  • SCADA integration

Secure by design

PSC is deployed so device communications terminate at a server impossible to directly access from worker computers. No network bridging technology required, ensuring malicious packets from worker laptops never reach end devices.

  • Isolated device communications
  • No direct access paths
  • No bridging required
  • Air-gapped security model

Built for OT security

Role-based access control with MFA/SSO integration

Signed artifacts and immutable audit logs

Time-bound access with automatic expiration

Encrypted communications with certificate management

Evidence exports mapped to compliance frameworks
