Communication and Integration

The trend for the gas market is obvious: in addition to present requirements of a modern communication infrastructure the future communication between gas suppliers has to be carried out in legal regulations.

inubit Suite – Integrated Communication Platform

To automate complex business processes in the gas market on the long run, inubit offers with the inubit Suite an integrated communication platform for exchanging all necessary business messages, incl. ready-made, preconfigured process templates.

In doing so, all communication channels (especially EDIINT AS2, e-mail, FTP) and data formats (EDIG@S, EDIFACT, XML, Excel, CSV) externally as well as internally are supported. Interfaces regarding internal applications have thereby a central importance because every automated communication only works if data can be directly fed in from backend systems into processes.

Thus, the inubit Suite simplifies the work of companies in the deregulated gas market noticeably and provides barrier-free business operations.Thanks to the open, integrated and modern architecture, the inubit Suite is one of the leading products for managing business processes, for integrating systems and optimizing the B2B communication. As a center for their business processes the inubit Suite manages data correctly and enables companies to gain real-time information over processes, keep an overview at any time and improve the operational business continuously. For this purpose the integrated monitoring is the basis for a permanent process control and improvement.

EDIG@S – it is not antiquated!

Several years ago the gas industry created the EDIG@S standard to endeavor the automation of data communication. This message format, prevailing in version 3.2, is based on the worldwide established UN/ EDIFACT standard and meets the concerns of the gas industry specifications. Due to the exact defined structure and close regulations of the contents, EDIG@S is excellently applicable for automated communication between partners in the gas market.

Due to these advantages inubit has developed one of the most efficient and flexible EDIG@S-solutions. The inubit solution contains EDIG@S in every version and will also support completely the EDIG@S-version 4.0. Moreover the inubit solution offers the processing of further relevant message structures like Excel (KISS-A), XML and CSV as well as all communication protocols e.g. FTP, AS2, OFTP and X.400.
