George M. Belich, President and Chief Executive Officer, is the founder of Stark North America, Inc. He has 25 years experience in the utility industry with an emphasis in data collection, analysis and management. Under his direction, the Company has grown to become a preeminent provider of information systems.

At Stark, we believe that there are three driving forces shaping the energy marketplace; deregulation, application of information technology and advances in energy technologies. We want to partner with forward thinking companies, looking to capitalize on the opportunities afforded by this exciting marketplace.

Products
We sell and service two major products; Stark RT and Stark Essentials. Both products were developed by Stark Software International, Ltd. (“SSI”) of the United Kingdom. SSI was established in 1981 and has installed more than 500 energy information systems worldwide. SSI systems have been designed and implemented in accordance with ISO 9001, the international standard for “Quality Management” and are Y-2K compliant.

The Stark RT software provides the five (5) primary functional requirements for an integrated energy information system:

Data Retrieval
Data Management
Data Manipulation
Report Generation
Report Distribution

The RT is a multi-vendor system that supports interval data collection from a wide range of meters, recorders and building/industrial control systems. It uses state-of-the-art, highly scaleable, relational database technology to store and retrieve data. The data is easily manipulated to produce user defined compound reports containing integrated text and graphics. These reports can be generated on demand or automatically and distributed via e-mail, disk, file server, Internet or Bulletin Board. With the optional Stark .RTV format Viewer software, the user can import the compound reports into such widely available applications as MS Excel, MS Access and MS Word.

Stark Essentials is a comprehensive and fully configurable energy accounting software system. It is a client server system where a number of applications interrogate a state-of-the-art and scaleable relational database. The applications are fully integrated and are “multi-tasking” for simultaneous access. The Microsoft Windows user interface supports “Drag and Drop” and “Cut and Paste” to make the applications fast and simple to use. Some typical applications for EA are; validation and audits of utility bills, tariff analysis, development of custom reports with text and graphics. EA can pass data into other software systems for contract analysis and electronic trading. You can also export an approved payment file to your financial accounting system for payment.
