Oceanus launched the Electric Vehicle Information Exchange (EVIX) in 2011 to help automotive manufacturers, utilities, governments and charger installers securely share information and plan for grid reliability.

An Electric Vehicle (EV) can pull as much electricity as an entire house. In one study, 67% of the residential transformers tested were overloaded when one EV was plugged in during peak load. With a national goal of 1 million EVs on the road by 2015 and 12 manufacturers launching EVs by 2012, the 3400 US utilities as well as state and local governments need to know where these EV buyers are going to plug in order to secure the grid.

EVIX is working with 3 major auto manufacturers and many major utilites to help solve this problem--including having an exclusive license to Nissan LEAF data to provide advanced analytics to utilities. For more information go to EVIX.com.

Business and Knowledge Process
Global Outsourcing

Oceanus is your full service partner for off-shore system implementation and both business and knowledge process outsourcing (BPO and KPO).

At Oceanus we believe that your off-shoring project is only as good as your onshore team. That is why Oceanus has built on an experienced team of on-shore client managers, architects, and consultants supplemented with a global network of trusted off-shore outsourcing suppliers and delivery partners. We have a unique ability to staff projects at optimal service levels and price points by matching your unique needs with the correct delivery partner and global location. This method also reduces the long-term risk of being locked into a single off-shore partner or nation.

Everything we do at Oceanus is centered around the user of our solutions and how those users can successfully complete their tasks to derive business value. This is especially true of our user interaction team that designs application interaction for both internal applications such as business intelligence or ordering systems, and external applications such as a consumer websites or dealer ordering systems. We specialize in making complex systems simple with experience in applications such as: vehicle data maintenance systems, consumer configuration interfaces, and vehicle ordering systems--national, regional, dealer, and fleet.
