WPS Resources Corporation, based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is a holding company with both regulated and non-regulated, energy-related subsidiaries and 2002 revenues of more than $2.6 Billion.

They selected Novell eDirectory to provide the identity foundation for a Novell Nsure solution consisting of Novell iChain and Novell DirXML.
