Summary Features
Benefits
Process Designer
- Comprehensive and convenient user interface allowing customers to easily create and modify business processes
- All changes are subject to role based security and full audit trail of changes
- Calculations and logic are defined using natural mathematical and logical notation and functions
- Processes are defined using industry standard BPMN 2.0 graphical notation
- The design and configuration of processes can be carried out by appropriate staff – business analysts or super users – in a controlled manner
- Calculations and logic are defined using clear arithmetical and logic calculations with clear symbols. Staff can readily see and change business calculations. This is much safer than defining calculations in excel and more flexible and transparent than embedding calculations in compiled applications
- Process changes can be made without reliance on vendors or technical staff
- A full managed change process reduces process risk and increases transparency
Process Executor
- Execute processes reliably
- Visualise process execution state
- Manage alerts, deadlines and exceptions
- Supports interactive and batch processing with process initiation by schedule or triggered by external events
- Provide customisable user interfaces for data or process interaction where manual intervention is needed
- Staff can rely on processes executing reliably as required, with escalation to users as needed
- Data and processes are automatically managed by the process and made available as needed to the right people or dependent systems
- Operational staff are given interfaces to review or enter data in clear, controlled interfaces giving a positive and simple user experience. Risk, complexity and effort are reduced
System Adapters and Interfaces
- Data transfer services using standard protocols including REST Services, FTP, email, JDBC
- Data transfer formats including JSON, XML, HTML, Plain Text and Excel
- Integrate easily with third party systems including in-house systems, databases and market, broker and counterparty systems
- Eliminate manual data re-keying activities reducing risk and effort and replacing laborious manual tasks
Energy Data Models
- A time series database for capture of market data including flows, prices and plant data
- A trade capture database for interfacing with ETRM systems or providing a complete settlement solution for small trade portfolios
- Atomic data (numeric, string, Boolean) for simple data structures
- Energy industry is easily captured, processed and visualised within EnergyFlow
- The expression language is tightly integrated with the built in data models. This means that calculations on data are defined in a natural and easy way that reduces risk of error and supports rapid solution to requirements and responsiveness to change
External Integration
- A full REST service interface allowing external services to interact with and automate interactions with EnergyFlow
- Calls to EnergyFlow can be automated by external systems including initiating EnergyFlow processes with data and receiving results back
