The GBA administers a [testing and certification program](/content/testing/index.html) to make it easier for an energy provider to ensure its Green Button implementation complies with the Green Button standard, while also assuring developers they can write a single application that can work across many utilities. If your company is in the process of developing a Green Button _Download My Data_ (DMD) solution to provide Green Button energy data to your customers, or already has a DMD implementation, you can apply for Green Button DMD Certification [here](/content/testing/index.html).

For utilities interested in learning about how an open-platform-based utility service could increase revenues through a combination of service-provider and customer engagement, see the [Rocky Mountain Institute's](http://www.rmi.org/) insightful article: ["How Open Platforms with Demand Flexibility offer Utilities New Revenue Opportunities,"](http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/open-platforms-for-utilities) which notes Green Button data as part of an open Data-as-a-Service platform.
