Milsoft made a critical change in customer support leadership in 2020. Daffron & Associates' acquisition made it necessary to bring two support teams working on two very different platforms together. Milsoft promoted Cary Hamar to VP of Support to lead this ambitious effort. We are proud to announce that Cary has exceeded expectations in establishing one team under one support umbrella. "Cary has done a great job bringing structure, organization, and leadership into the critical business of supporting all our customers," says Brian Carr, CEO of Marketing.

As recently as 2015, solar-powered energy was considered unreliable and ultimately unworkable on a mass scale. However, opinion seems to have shifted recently — and shifted quite dramatically.

America’s security, economy, health, and safety all depend on the continuous delivery of electricity. Yet, our electric infrastructure is being pushed to operate more efficiently as it ages beyond its expected lifespan. Modernizing the grid using smart grid technology and control software is one way to make our electric grid more resilient. These technologies work together to control the delivery of electricity reliably and efficiently.

Power outages are expensive for power companies and end users. Calculating the actual cost is difficult.
