SOPTIM NZM offers comprehensive and flexible support for the tasks and requirements to be fulfilled by the feed-out manager in the fields of energy data managemen.

Flexibility, performance and being up-to-date are the characteristics of SOPTIM's toolbox for feed-out system operators.

• Flexibility, to be able to react to the different and changing demands of the REA and CHP regulation.
• Performance, to master mass data, automate processes and thus control costs.
• Being up-to-date, to be able to securely apply the market-relevant procedures and formats at the dates set by the Federal Network agency.

With regard to content SOPTIM NZM does not only master the basics of energy data management to perfection. All processes in the contex

system management are integrated and supported with highest quality and thus with highest value added.

SOPTIM NZM supports:

• In regard to strategy: Security and transparency in the allocation process and management of system accounts and thus the minimizing of risks in feed-out system operation.
• In regard to tactics: Core processes in allocation, surpluses/shortages, and change of supplier can be integrated and thus processed based on validated and consistent data and established EDM functions saving resources and using a high degree of automation.
• In regard to operation: Distinctive areas of operation provide the basis for a detailed modeling of data structures oriented on the technical and legal demands. Side systems in the office world become unnecessary. Cockpit functions, analysis tools and flexible evaluations give a current view of the processing status at any time and prevent transgressions of deadlines.
• As reliable and performant IT system: In cooperation with the ERP system on one hand and the remote counter reading or metering data management system on the other SOPTIM NZM is the secure and central platform for the system manager of natural gas systems.

Automated EDM processes: Time series management, validation and processing of metering values and replacement value procedure, editors, graphic display, export and import mechanisms to various sending mechanisms in the form of technical modules are the basis for technical processing and an effective and transparent operation.

System Allocation: Being a result-relevant core process for system operators allocation has highest priority for SOPTIM. Various profile procedures (TU Munich, system operator profiles) in synthetic or analytic shape are applied based on valid customer values. Flexible aggregation procedures connect load profile and metered actual usage to form meaningful sums of suppliers and balancing groups. Daily, deadline-controlled and quickly.

Supply management according to GeLi Gas: All processes to exchange or process data in context with change of supplier, moving in or out, basic or replacement supply are processed performantly and with highest ergonomics and automation in SOPTIM NZM. These directly affect balancing and allocation, securely and immediately. Our standard: Process if in doubt only and guarantee a consistently high quality of data using stock lists.

Completely integrated market communication: SOPTIM's systems master all market formats - from UTILMD to MSCONS and ALOCAT to IMBNOT. Optionally coupled with the company's EDIFACT data hub or based on the EDI server by SOPTIM AG.

Determining Surpluses and Shortages: The calculations of surpluses and shortages in electricity and gas forms a corrective of allocation. Based on actual reading data, the procedures of the SOPTIM NZM integratedly determines deviations from the sent allocation results. Calculated for each metering point, documented for each supplier.
System Account Analysis and Views of Balancing Groups: System accounts analyze differences between ACTUAL and TARGET on a daily basis and thus mirror the financial risk connected to the account balance.
