eFile549

Easily create and manage natural gas form 549D.

Systrends eFile549 is a software solution for filing and managing FERC’s 549D PDF form.  549D is a quarterly report, required by FERC, that natural gas companies must eFile to report storage and transportation transactions.  eFile549 is an easy-to-use program that converts Excel spreadsheets or XML into FERC’s 549D PDF form.  eFile549 automates the process of completing the form according to FERC requirements, eliminating the lengthy process of entering multiple contracts and shipper transactions; the program validates the data to reduce filing errors, generates reports, and archives each PDF form.

eFile549 features include:

♦ Web-based application
Multiple company filing
Data validation
Data error report
Filing library
Contract and transaction filing summary
Filing usage report
Archived PDF form

eFile549 is web-based software, hosted by Systrends, to which users log in to create and manage their 549D forms.  eFile549 pricing is based on cooperative pricing tiers; the tiers are based on the cumulative contracts of every company using the service.  Pricing is determined by the total number of chargeable contracts that flow through the service; the more companies using the service, the lower the cost for all users.  If a customer would rather have Systrends generate the filing, that option is also available for a flat contracted rate.

Systrends makes sure our eFiling software products comply with changing FERC requirements.  Along with eFile549, Systrends is developing eFileEQR (for release in early 2012), a software product that converts spreadsheets to FERC-defined XML for EQR filings.  Systrends eTariff products include eTariffManager (converts energy tariffs to XML and provides comprehensive tariff management) and four optional add-ons: eTariffLoader (imports previously filed XML into eTariffManager); eTariffWeb (transfers tariff documents from eTariffManager to a company content management system or public website); eTariffCompliance (provides a full-featured Governance Risk Compliance system for impact analysis); and eTariffApp (sends tariff documents directly from FERC’s eTariff Viewer to an iPad).
