Misys Open Source Solutions, a division of Misys, today announced that it’s launching a beta-version of its “Open Carbon World” portal for members of the carbon community interested in driving market policy.
The announcement comes at the California Climate Action Registry’s 6th Annual Navigating the Carbon World conference.
Open Carbon World Partners are organizations concerned with solving the problems of carbon emissions. Participating organizations include technology vendors, financial organizations, non-profit organizations, regulatory bodies and governmental organizations. Misys is providing technical resources and management leadership for this effort.
“The Open Carbon World portal is the first and only resource aimed at providing a single source of clear information to help new members of the carbon community navigate a growing, but increasingly murky market,” said Donald Sunderland, vice president of Misys Open Source Solutions’ treasury and capital markets division.
“This solution enables carbon market advocates to find out news on policy areas in which they are interested, and provides a forum for generating dialogue among those advocates who are seeking to shape policy and resolve issues,” Sunderland said.
The Open Carbon World portal will consist of several components designed to provide clarity, advocacy, collaboration and market creation for emissions trading, according to the company. These include Carbon Wiki, which provides comprehensive up-to-date industry information, vetted and overseen by an editorial board made up of industry experts and Carbon Stacks, which allows recognized industry leaders to house contributed studies and white papers, according to the company.
It also includes Carbon Policy Dashboard providing and highlights immediate developments potentially impacting policy, according to the company.
“By leading the effort to create the Open Carbon World portal, Misys Open Source Solutions group is demonstrating our commitment to apply open community principals to help solve significant problems,” said Bob Barthelmes, Misys executive vice president and general manager of Open Source Solutions.
“Misys is uniquely positioned to apply our expertise to this important effort and we will continue to lead this and other projects to foster collaboration and facilitate growth of the carbon industry,” he said.
Misys’ Open Source Solutions supports the Misys banking, treasury and capital markets and healthcare customers by leading the development of open source projects to create new services and applications that will address industry’s most difficult problems, according to the company.
