Application Integration

In practice

TvimenningOld Norse meaning 'two bound together' - one who solves a task shoulder to shoulder with another. has more than 99 years of combined experience in application integration - from classic ESB solutions and point-to-point integrations to modern APIApplication Programming Interface - standardised interface that allows two systems to communicate with each other.-based and event-drivenArchitecture principle where system components communicate via events rather than direct calls - increases loose coupling and scalability. architectures. In practice, application integration in the Norwegian energy sector means getting KISCustomer Information System - the core system at power suppliers and grid companies for customer management and billing., ERPEnterprise Resource Planning - business system integrating finance, HR, logistics and operations., MDMMeter Data Management - system for collection, storage, quality assurance and distribution of metering data from the electricity grid., SCADASupervisory Control and Data Acquisition - system for real-time monitoring and control of industrial processes., and ElhubNational hub for metering data and market processes in the Norwegian electricity market. to communicate across different suppliers, protocols, and data models. The most common pitfalls are inadequate error handling, no retry logicPattern for handling temporary failures in distributed systems - automatic retry with exponential backoff., and tight coupling that causes a single system failure to cascade across all systems. Tvimenning assists energy companies in designing, building, and modernising integration architecture - from simple KIS-to-Elhub connections to full-scale iPaaSIntegration Platform as a Service - cloud-based platform for integrating applications and data between systems.-based data flows.
