Customised development has resulted in a highly available data hub with the highest data protection and IT security standards. The platform can be flexibly expanded and is prepared for future data hub applications. SCS offers development and operation from a single source.
Project insights
The Swisseldex Datahub is developed by SCS and operated on a cloud platform. In addition, SCS provides end customer support to assist the players with the implementation of business processes by telephone and via a ticketing system. A 24/7 on-call service ensures the high availability of the platform.
The Datahub has a measuring point register that is available to partners. The measuring point register maps the status of measuring points and enables the automation of switching processes using so-called shortcuts. This leads to a gain in efficiency in the implementation of switching processes.
Measurement data is routed via the data hub using a single SFTP access per market partner, whereby the data hub is responsible for the correct routing of messages and measurement data.
At the beginning of 2021, over 400 market partners were active on the Swisseldex Datahub and the number is constantly increasing.
