10/March/2011 14:04
EPV Energy Ltd has taken Process Vision Oy’s GENERIS energy data system into production use for energy procurement management. EPV Energy, a balance responsible company that owns or has stakes in several production plants and production companies, uses the system for energy data management and billing.
The new system has a central role in EPV Energy’s key business processes. It is responsible for creating load, production and cost forecasts, as well as managing emission rights and emission reduction trades data. The new GENERIS system offers flexible and efficient tools for billing of open deliveries and for managing accounts with EPV Energy’s stakeholders. It does also energy reporting to shareholders and regulatory authorities.
”We needed a new generation system solution to meet our diverse and continuously expanding energy procurement planning and management operations. During the system acquisition process we became aware of the GENERIS platform’s strengths in meter data management and calculations. When the system delivery project started, we were pleased to note that a wide variety of functionalities, including process workflows, customizable control and follow-up screens, and mandatory reporting can all be built flexibly via system parameterisation, and this enabled rapid implementation for production deployment. The platform also provides a solid basis for future reporting that will be needed for billing and business planning” says Mr Reima Neva, EPV Energy’s CIO
”Working within a tight project schedule, we implemented a comprehensive information system solution that will fulfill EPV Energy’s business needs well into the future. The phased system deployment from test usage to production went according to plan, and we could react quickly to find solutions for needs that became evident over the course of the project. The customer’s strong energy business know-how in combination with Process Vision’s system expertise produced a highly functional entity whose expandability and scalability guarantee a high performance IT solution for the long term for EPV Energy” concludes Mr Juha-Pekka Einamo, Process Vision’s head of consulting.
