Norway-based systems integrator Integrate has delivered the ActiveVOS-based integration platform for Embriq, a company delivering AMM infrastructure and AMM business process outsourcing services.

Embriq’s AMM integration platform implements a service-oriented architecture (SOA) in which ActiveVOS is used to manage work order integration processes for smart meter installation, on-demand metering services like meter reading or power on/off and the utility’s other customer facing services.

Thorsten Heller, chief technology officer of Integrate, said: “Working with Embriq, Integrate uses ActiveVOS to make it faster and easier for utilities to implement, operate and maintain smart grid technology.

“Around the world, governments and utilities are looking to smart grid technology to increase energy efficiency, promote conservation and reduce climate impacts. These new smart grids require that the utilities that are deploying and operating them change many of the ways they interact with customers. With our new ActiveVOS-based BPM system, we are able to help utilities across the globe implement those changes and speed up the deployment of smart grid technology.”

ActiveVOS 7 allows the project team to model, develop, test, deploy, and manage standards-based BPM applications. With ActiveVOS 7’s new BPMN 2.0 modeler, teams can collaborate to deliver new processes on their own schedule and at a lower cost, Active Endpoints said.

Knut Vonheim, director of development at Embriq, said: “In order to gain the performance, stability and flexibility to deploy and operate AMM, we at Embriq decided to build a runtime platform utilizing SOA principles and state-of-the-art technologies such as ActiveVOS business process management software which helps us speed up development and simplify operations.”
