Dr. Dirk Mattig, EFET eCM Project Manager for RWE Trading's Back Office, on Ponton Consulting's EFET eCM Box+:
"We were able to install our eCM test system from scratch within less than an hour thanks to the ease of use of the software. Message exchange via email with our pilot partner worked on the first attempt.
Ponton Consulting's software also met RWE's very strict internal security requirements so that we were allowed to install it in the DMZ to achieve message exchange via HTTPS.
During an intensive test phase with three counterparties over several months the software proved to be stable, reliable and mature and hence RWE's Back Office approved its use in production environment.
We are very pleased with both the quality of the software and the professional support by Ponton Consulting during the entire project."

For clarification of the project for the EFET (European Federation of Energy Traders) it is important to distinguish the following 3 terms:

EFET is a federation consisting of the major European Energy Traders which defines standards for energy trading

EFET net is a B2B integration project based on EFET standards

EFET Box is a software product based on the Ponton X technology implementing the EFET standards

The number of customers who have joined the EFETnet project has increased significantly:
Since 2005 more than 35 companies are using the EFET Box which is based on Ponton X/P and Ponton X/D technology.
Within this project Ponton Consulting provides development and support for the EFET Box as well as various additional services such as:

• Business consulting (scoping, process-analysis and –design)
