EnergyICT business has been split up in 2 major segments: namely Smarter Grids and Energy Management

The powerful EIServer® software platform lies at the core of EnergyICT's IT solutions, serving as central Meter Data

Management platform for utilities and as Energy Management System for end customers and suppliers. EnergyICT's

industry leading hardware includes first-class data concentrators that collect consumption data from energy meters (e.g.

electricity, gas and water) and post their collected data to EIServer for further processing and distribution.  

EIServer 

EIServer for Smarter Grids 

For utilities, EnergyICT®'s EIServer ® serves as central Meter Data Management platform, designed to meet all currentand future MDM requirements with a strong focus on smart meter data collection and processing. Built on a modern

Oracle/JAVA platform

Specifically for today's grid operators, the sophisticated EIServer MDM platforms have rich features covering multi-vendor

protocols (over 35 vendors and more than 80 protocols), extensive import and export functionality and Smart Metering

AMI support. Furthermore, EIServer possesses in-depth and highly efficient Validation, Forecasting, Billing, Workflow

modules and grid scenario handling functionalities e.g. for switching and settlement purposes.

EIServer is targeted to support numerous smart metering use cases. These are e.g. meter registration, configuration,

remote connect/disconnect, remote firmware update, periodic and ad hoc meter readings, and status

monitoring of meters and concentrators. Moreover, EIServer's Workflow module can be used to control and

automate these scenarios.

EIServer for Energy Management

For large energy consuming businesses, energy suppliers and service providers, EIServer ® serves as Energy Data

Management System: the central data repository for energy management projects. EIServer® is an expert EDM and

monitoring system suitable for all energy management applications. The flexible, dynamic and open software consists of ahigh-volume Oracle database with a high-performance JAVA business logic layer.

EIServer was designed to collect, store and manage consumption data in order to monitor, visualize energy flows and

optimize the total energy efficiency. By measuring, logging, transmitting and storing energy consumption data from

multiple sites, an accurate and complete energy data warehouse can be built by EIServer.

The system is currently used for all aspects of energy management including: data validation, tenant billing, forecasting

(actual compared to forecast with alarms), monitoring and verification, continuous energy monitoring, benchmarking, cost

per production analysis, group reporting and many other energy functions.

EIServer EDM's reporting engine provides both a set of easy-to-use reports and the capability to define additional

reports in a time-efficient and user-friendly manner.

EIServer EDM has built-in Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance; a complete and highly effective audit trail, thus keeping

track of every object modification and data stream in EIServer EDM for an unlimited number of years. This ensures fulltraceability.
