With the help of Frends iPaaS, Cegal can help its customers build a digital ecosystem and make a step-by-step green transition.
"Many companies in the energy industry are held back by their legacy systems. With Frends iPaaS, we can build them a network of applications that enables keeping the on-premise legacy systems and simultaneously deploying new low-code, modular cloud services," says Jon Petter Hjulstad, Director Development at Cegal Norway.
With a solid data foundation that is easy to monitor and develop, Cegal can become more relevant to its customers and grow its business. Frends made an impression with its low-code approach, simplicity, references, and pricing model.
"There is a huge need for low-code integration within the energy branch. Frends iPaaS addresses this by delivering a powerful B2B platform with ready-made connectors supporting the most common industry standards," says Arturo Viveros, Director of Integration at Cegal Norway.
"We are dedicated to supporting the digital transformation of energy companies undergoing big changes due to mergers and the green transition. Furthermore, the constantly changing governmental regulations require a digital environment, in which changes are fast to test and deploy in a centralized manner," continues Geir Ove Drevland, Principal Energy Solution Architect at Cegal Norway.
Some of the biggest energy companies in Finland are using Frends iPaaS: St1, Helen, Caruna, and Savon Voima. Cegal and Frends can seek strong growth in the Norwegian market by combining their industry expertise and technological capabilities.
