The MISO Support Team is happy to walk you through the M3 platform.

Based on how the vendor provides its data, a process is required to extract, compute, and normalize each source. Each process, or group of similar processes, requires a bot to run it. Some vendor bots require several different processes, therefore more monthly credit is added to that vendor bot.

It's actually the safest and smartest way to manage inventory data. All extractions are repetitive processes that require consistency for data accuracy and freshness. For MISO, the vendor portal is the source and the M3 platform is its destination. All data is encrypted end-to-end and once in M3, all users are authenticated and audit trails kept.  

M3 leverages AWS Secrets Manager to manage secrets for workloads.  Defined workloads are subject to Department of Defense Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (DoD CC SRG IL2, DoD CC SRG IL4, and DoD CC SRG IL5), Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP), Outsourced Service Provider’s Audit Report (OSPAR), ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO 9001, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), or System and Organization Control (SOC).

Just like an employee, MISO requires a login with adequate permissions to access each vendor and its associated service data.    

Yes, though you might not be happy about it. Unlike most employees, MISO works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  So if a vendor continually sends dual-authentication codes to your email or text, your good night's sleep could be a thing of the past.  If MISO maintains its own login, it will simply look for this code, grab it, and complete its extraction.  

If this data is available through an API, then it can be available in seconds. Unfortunately, very (very) few vendors provide subscription and economic data through such an API. Therefore, MISO repeatedly logs into vendor portals to download files and documents from, possibly, hundreds of unique accounts. These files often require further processing and alignment. Fortunately, MISO works thousands of times faster than a human, making what would have initially taken weeks or months, take only hours.     

MISO realizes you are busy, so it tries to provide information that will be helpful.  

1. Duplicate data identified and consolidated.

2. Cost calculations normalized for currency and billing frequency (monthly, quarterly, etc.), allowing for easier comparisons.

3. Inactive users reported from last login dates.   


Yes. You can add, filter and report on an unlimited number of service attributes.
