CEO Connective thinking to find the best solutions We develop and deliver software and related services designed for hydropower generators, distribution companies, local authorities and contractors. From the beginning our main focus has been to create solutions that control and optimise hydropower production and smart grid network information systems. The conditions in Scandinavia?s deregulated and highly competitive market demanded that our solutions were able to improve efficiency, quality and profitability for our customers. These same principles have allowed us to be equally successful in developing support tools that help improve local infrastructure and municipal administration. Our?appealing software and services are vital to the smooth execution of a range of municipal processes and responsibilities. Software for ? tomorrow?s energy ? and environmental ? needs ? today Every day our software is used for a variety of work processes. In power generation and trading, for example, optimisation is both critical and complex. Our history in research, close collaboration with universities and combined expertise make us uniquely qualified to provide valuable optimisation solutions and expert modelling consulting services to the energy sector. Our Smart Generation Suite helps to keep track of the entire process by measuring and analysing all factors related to hydropower production: from the amount of water in the reservoirs, to forecasted weather, regulatory aspects and fluctuations in the markets regarding consumption and price. Our system coordinates all these facts and enables a production plan that is optimised, usually based on profit and available water resources. With our systems and expertise a power plant can increase production and profits by
