Project insights
The Swisseldex Datahub is developed by SCS and operated on a cloud platform. In addition, SCS provides end-customer support to help the players with the implementation of the business processes by telephone and via a ticketing system. A 7/24 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 allows the automation of customer change process through so-called shortcuts. This leads to an increase in efficiency in the implementation of exchange processes.
The routing of measurement data via the Datahub is done via a single SFTP access per market partner, whereby the Datahub is responsible for the correct routing of messages and measurement data.
As of the beginning of 2021, more than 400 market partners were active on the Swisseldex Datahub and penetration is constantly increasing.
