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."
