Anna Zalucka joins Previse Systems as Master Data Product Owner

Previse Systems welcomes Anna Zalucka, who strengthens our team as Master Data Product Owner.

Anna’s wide skill set around operations management, business process analysis and project coordination provides Previse Systems with an important growth lever – great to have you on board, Anna!

What makes Previse Systems an attractive employer? What is different to other places you worked at before?

I am particularly taken by the importance which Previse Systems puts on building a fantastic company culture. A culture which supports professionalism, healthy relationships in the team as well as creating opportunities to grow and learn more every day. In Previse, no matter what field you work in, passion and drive for excellence is unbeatable!

Previse Systems with its flat structure is free of micro-management, politics and redundant processes. It emphasizes employee independence, focuses on an open and transparent communication and celebrates employee and company successes! The company is proud of its diversity and encourages its employees to challenge status quo!

In Previse, no matter how much the company grows, you still feel like family. … and it is the only company I know which serves Gammel Dansk for breakfast!! 😊

 

What are the main challenges in your day-to-day work?

The role of Master Data Product Owner seems extremely interesting to me as I have a history of working in very demanding and dynamic software companies in the past. These have resulted in me being comfortable performing in dynamically changing circumstances. The main day-to-day challenges will be to quickly learn highly advanced, innovative system which uses latest technology and bring value to the team from day one! I believe that very collaborative, highly specialised working environment makes it extremely interesting and challenging the same time.

 

What are you mid-term perspectives at Previse Systems? Where would you like to see you role develop to?

Personally, I think the higher targets you have for yourself, the lower limits you impose on yourself. Because why not go high!? The only thing that may inhibit us from this, it is your own, usually irrational beliefs. Personal development is one of the elements of my life, which I pay special attention to. That’s probably why I can say that I do not limit myself in what I can actually achieve. Ultimately, I’d like to assume more data product management responsibilities and later get involved in operational project management.

I do not like to sit still hence it is important for me to know how I can progress and develop professionally. It’s important to me to continue learning and exercise my past experience to bring the best results for Previse Systems and our customers.


Norlys Energy Trading Goes Live on First Release of Core ETRM Platform

Zug, 12. May 2021: Previse Systems announced today that Norlys Energy Trading has successfully taken the first release of it new Core ETRM platform – based on ChorusLink, Previse Coral and the Coral Ecosystem – into production.

The primary goal of Release 1 is to support the trading of power and natural gas on EEX as well as Nasdaq OMX, with master data provided by ChorusLink and valuations run in Previse Coral. Release 2 will expand coverage to further instruments across additional European markets for gas and power.

Release 1 was delivered entirely remotely. A strong team spirit with a shared focus on the common goal ensured a smooth and timely completion.

About Norlys Energy Trading

Norlys Energy Trading A/S was founded in May 2020 and owned by Norlys Holding A/S and Eurowind Energy A/S The company is based in the Northern part of Denmark in the city of Aalborg.

We are in the process of building a solid and automatized organisation with an efficient platform for energy trading and aim to streamline the handling of renewable energy in both Denmark and the rest of Europe.

We strive to become one of the top European players in electricity and gas trading and to be one of the frontrunners of the green energy transition.

As the energy sector is getting “greener”, more complex than ever, and new solutions emerge everywhere, we have chosen to be an active part of and significant contributor to a sustainable future.

Allan Kaufmann, Head of IT Development at Norlys Energy Trading, said:

“We welcome the first deployment of our entire platform into production and can officially state that Norlys Energy Trading is now an operating trading company. This first go-live will probably be the largest and most important deployment we ever face since all our different systems and components (that together represent our world class trading platform) now are combined and running.

It´s quite amazing to see how much we have achieved working from home! We have established very close collaboration with our various counterparts and especially with Previse Systems, who have proven to be a very flexible and high performing partner.

We have started out strong and now we are increasing the pace. What a fantastic journey!”

Asbjørn Hansen, Managing Director at Previse Systems, said:

“At Previse Systems, we are very proud of this first result of our partnership with Norlys Energy Trading. Thanks to an efficient and close collaboration of the project teams – of course entirely remotely as mandated by the circumstances – we were able to not only fulfil a very demanding project schedule, but even to increase the project scope and deliver more functionality than originally planned.

We were able to demonstrate the strength of our concepts for example in the core success criteria of time to market and performance – the combination of our innovative data management approach with the utilisation of advanced Azure cloud services and the serverless technology provided by Microsoft allows new markets to be onboarded quickly and valuation runtime to be all but independent of the number of trades to be valued.

We are excited to support Norlys Energy Trading on their journey and look forward to a continuous stream of further successful releases over the coming months.”
