Operation and maintenance of master data application 2013
Project duration: 1 year
Brief description
The central application for mapping the business processes of an energy trading company is continuously developed according to the requirements of the specialist users. The statutory provisions are also taken into account by the system. The main areas of focus for 2013 are the market processes for metering point operation for gas as well as metering point operation independently of energy delivery.
Supplement
The customer's master data application is based on a three-layer, service-oriented architecture (.Net-based thin client, application server, MS SQL 2012). The system communicates both with other individually implemented systems of the customer and with standard software such as SAP. The data exchange takes place with the help of various formats, primarily with the help of in-house XML formats, which are sent to a BizTalk server, which forwards the data in accordance with the relevant requirements. Development is performed in C# based on the .Net 4.5 framework.
Subject description
The system is used to record all necessary contracts (purchasing, sales) and the relevant data (tariff schemes, profile, technical data). The customer's field of activity is not focused exclusively on the procurement of energy, but rather extends to energy consultation, metering point operation, and, since recently, trading energy from feed-in plants. In the framework of adapting the system, importance is given above all to the ability to react flexibly to innovations and to integrate them.
