Case Study

Business Challenge

The work of an independent electric energy operator constantly requires the exchange of information and the coordination of energy supply schedules with other operators in the market. The existing method of information exchange required an operator to constantly manually monitor new energy supply data from other operators on their ftp servers.

  • ● Java EE, Web Services
  • ● BPEL4J
  • ● IBM WebSphere Application Server 4.0

In order to automate the information collection and exchange processes, our customer made a decision to establish a collaboration software system, where a system user would be able to obtain up-to-date energy transmission schedules from other operators.

As energy operators work with mission-critical confidential information, our customer's major requirements for a target solution were high system reliability and security.

Software Solution

Axmor Software Java EE developers, together with company representatives, developed and launched a system that fully coordinates an exchange of information among all energy operators in the market, including approval of energy supply schedules with each operator.

To meet customer requirements, Axmor experts engaged a Web Services technology that ensures high system reliability and availability. Using Web Services enabled Axmor to deliver a highly secure solution to assure that only authorized system users can access and use the information.

The system deployment has resulted in substantial savings of operators' time and expenses by decreasing the time needed to coordinate supply schedules. Now it takes a fraction of a second for system users to search for, request and retrieve required information.
