Our Services

With the restart of the digitalization of the energy transition (GNDEW), the legislator is pursuing the goal of accelerating the stalled roll-out of intelligent metering systems (iMSys) as a secure data hub and, at the same time, increasing the number of mandatory installations. Due to the increasing number of iMSys, the metering point operator requires secure and robust systems for device procurement, technical commissioning, and operation of the devices deployed in the field.

 

We support you as an IT service provider with a BSI-certified GWA SaaS solution in the public cloud. We are the first provider in Germany to use external cloud computing services from Microsoft Azure in the GWA system, whereby the assets requiring protection remain in our data center. On request, we offer the entire value chain in smart metering and significantly contribute to the success of the digitalization of the energy transition. 

The Operation of Smart Metering Systems (iMSys)

Challenge

Smart metering systems (iMSys) have been shaping the digital transformation in the energy industry for years and are essential for achieving the energy transition. However, the rollout of smart metering systems required for this has stalled considerably and the way has now been paved for even faster installation by amending the Metering Point Operation Act (MsbG).

Vision

Based on the know-how gained in recent years during the smart meter rollout, you, as a metering point operator, can, with our support, set up a complete infrastructure for the operation of iMSys, which is cost-efficient, scalable, and highly available. Combined with CLS management, the result is a sustainable overall package.

Solution

With our SaaS solution for the operation of iMSys, we offer freely selectable modularity and a customized service package. The solution not only includes the secure operation of IT systems in the cloud, but also 24/7 availability on request in order to meet increasing requirements.
