Scotia Gas Networks

24/Feb/2008

Scotia Gas Networks (SGN) was formed on 1 June 2005, following the sale of four of the eight gas distribution networks and is now the UK’s second largest gas distribution company, operating two of the largest regional gas networks. 


Energy Industry IT experts, Contigo's implementation of an integrated Auction Management System is positioned to deliver Scotia Gas Networks significant benefits.  Delivered to time and budget, simulation testing has shown the system will deliver a positive return in investment in the first year of operation.

 

SGN engaged Contigo to write the software to manage the whole auction process. Contigo used their combined expertise of energy industry knowledge, rapid software application development approach, proven Jazz Framework libraries, and mathematical optimisation capability, to develop a solution to handle the entire process in a single, integrated Auction Management System (AMS).

 

Steven Sherwood, Project Manager for Interruption Reform at SGN, was delighted with the results. “This has been an excellent project, and the Contigo team have exceeded our expectations. The system was installed on site in record time, and the quality of the delivered software has been excellent. We look forward to working with Contigo in the future.”

 

An SGN Auction Management System Case Study will be posted shortly.
