Previse Systems is happy to announce that Eva Ollino has joined our team as Product and Markets Specialist.
Eva’s strong background in energy consulting and project management with energy companies across Europe strongly enhances Previse’s capabilities and bandwidth in customer delivery and product management.
Eva – a warm welcome to Previse Systems!
Q – Tell us about your role at Previse
A – I have been very lucky as my role in Previse was set up to fit my profile. I have previously worked as an IT project manager/analyst in a software development company and also in an energy utility, therefore I know what to expect when working in development company focused on the energy sector. As my last role was implementation consultant, I am used to working with customers and quite enjoy the challenges that different projects bring. Therefore, the role which allows me to work on both: product development and getting customers the solutions that they need, fits very well.
What distinguishes Previse as an employer? What incentivised you to join a start up?
For me Previse is all about people, people that share the same mindset. A result-oriented structure without bureaucracy, assigning responsibility without excessive control, expecting appropriate efforts to reach adequate targets, and above all with a good sense of humour!
What do you see as your main contributions to Previse’s success?
A pragmatic and structured approach to problem solving, a sense of duty and a flair for documenting customer requirements in a way that both future users and system developers have a common understanding of the functionality, so that not too many surprises occur during implementation.
Alex Suciu joins Previse Systems as Senior Developer
Previse Systems cordially welcomes our new Senior Developer Alex Suciu!
Combining a background in Computer Science with in-depth experience in European energy markets, Alex has the ideal profile to complement our dynamic software development team.
Alex – great to have you on the team!
What aspect of your new job are you looking forward to most?
I am excited by this opportunity to work within an innovative environment, building a new product from scratch using the latest technologies. This comes with challenging assignments, however the setting is great for a problem-solving mindset to find new solutions to the market’s most difficult obstacles. For me it is opportunity to be part of an exceptional team, to build a well-balanced enterprise solution by combining state-of-the-art technologies with profound levels of industry knowledge.
High system performance is a key element of Previse’s proposal – how can technology contribute here?
Technology has been evolving at lightning speed levels. As we have seen in the last few decades it has come from being a something helpful to becoming a fundamental part into almost every task we perform. Keeping pace with the latest technologies is a difficult challenge, but if done the right way, one can always be one step ahead of the market. The beautiful thing about technology nowadays is that is readily available to anyone. The power is within our hands and it is our responsibility to use it in the best possible way.
Previse introduces an innovative product to the market, addressing some of the existing issues in the energy sector with a new product using cutting-edge technologies. The solution is a sustainable platform, built with customisation in mind without sacrificing performance. A truly unique and future-proof system aligned with the fast-growing market!
What technology or development tool are you most excited about?
Cloud-based solutions have revolutionised the way we interact with our applications and data. Since the information is not limited to the main frame or a central location the possibilities become endless. Not long ago, a crashed computer or server could bring a company to its knees, reducing productivity across the board. There are a number of reasons to be excited about cloud technology. It redefines the concept of security of information where data is stored in a secure and stable environment, with downtimes becoming a memory of the past. It also provides elasticity where the resources automatically adapt to the workload, delivering power only when needed, while significantly reducing cost.

This allows us to address both business and technical goals, ensuring the solutions are future-proof and will perform for a growing market.
How do you see technology drive the business case for Previse?

Our modular approach gives us the capacity to select the best technology for each specific situation, implementing performance and security at a granular level.
European Energy joins ChorusLink for Next Generation Trade Data Management
Zug, 16. October 2020: ChorusLink announced today that European Energy A/S has successfully migrated to the ChorusLink common trade repository.
Using ChorusLink will allow European Energy to:
- streamline the management of all transaction data from its trading operations
- lay a robust foundation for highly performant availability of trade data in a standardized format
- benefit from a centrally maintained repository of commonly used master data
- continuously increase back office automation as its counterparties also join ChorusLink
Jonas Nihøj, Director of Energy Trading & PPA at European Energy, said:
“The main reason for choosing ChorusLink and Previse Coral was to get the solution today which will be the market leader tomorrow, to ensure we have the scalability and performance we need.
As our current production portfolio of 3 TWh per year is set to grow tenfold over the next 5 years, we were faced with either scaling manual processes or investing for the future. We know that our needs today will be vastly different from tomorrow.
With the ChorusLink / Previse solution, we will be in a position to implement technological advancements on-the-go via the App Store, and we will have a competitive advantage in the years to come. Other aspects important to us are to retain ownership of our data and the possibility to easily change App providers, if required, with minimum efforts and costs.
Drawing on the experience of implementing several different ETRM systems, I know it is crucial to have the right partner for the journey and the Previse team have consistently delivered on time and budget. Therefore, I am confident that they will be an enabler for us in the years to come, when we embark on our ambitious growth journey.”

A New Approach to Energy Trade Data Management
Zug, 14 October 2020. ChorusLink AG is excited to announce the formal launch of its business operations!

This conceptual quantum leap facilitates process efficiencies, optimises investment returns on IT spending and fosters future infrastructure adaptability on an unprecedented level.
ChorusLink represents a new approach to recording, storing and managing energy trade data and related information – in a common trade repository. As the use of a shared repository allows each trade to be stored as a single data object, the relevant information is therefore mutually confirmed by definition. This simplifies settlement, auditing, regulatory reporting as well as the other steps in the lifecycle of a transaction necessitating mutual data verification.
