SOPTIM MDM is the core application for the management of metering data. All metering data are stored in this central storage that, with its functions, is responsible for a consistent and efficient management of metering information.

SOPTIM MDM supports a comprehensive and traceable bi-directional exchange of data with Gateways. Counter data (readings, states, tariff data) can be received and changes in parameters (altered metering tasks) sent. Malfunctions are automatedly detected and reported. The IP-based communication works with SML or XML protocols. The first initialization and establishing of communication is supported, as is the re-initializations once a malfunction has been dealt with.

SOPTIM MDM accepts most various metering data (15-minute values, hourly values, daily values or spontaneous values), prepares and stores them. Counter data are automatically archived with the defined metering points. The application verifies the data, checks them for completeness and, if necessary, adds replacement values. According to the requirements by the partners in the market and the subsequent internal DP-processes any kind of device can be built. Time series management based on the proven and high performance SOPTIM ZRM guarantees the audit-proof storage of data.

SOPTIM MDM provides metering data to the authorized partners in the market and peripheral systems on time and efficiently. An EDI server, e. g., SOPTIM EDI, handles the transfer to the market. Additionally metering data can be called up externally via the web service. The metering point management controls the authorization for access.

SOPTIM MDM is the central instance for all metering data and its preparation and distribution. To ensure the provision of complete metering data to partners in the market and adjacent systems in time SOPTIM MDM contains a management cockpit to monitor operations. Keywords in this context are management of events, initialization and re-initialization, management of states of malfunction, display of the state of operation and evaluation.

Automated, open-ended, fit for the future
Meter operators and metering service providers who choose SOPTIM MDM can look forward to the future more calmly. The consequently implemented principle of automated business processes ensures maximum efficiency of processes and thus of costs. The central storage of data simplifies structures and procedures and makes them more transparent. Data for subsequent processes does not have to be collected from various sources but is directly available. The central management of metering data, for example, is the basis for providing customers with services to monitor consumption via internet portals of apps.

SOPTIM MDM is designed to grow with increasing demands. Thanks to its scalability both small and extensive quantity structures can be handled. This is possible because the tasks are spread over several computers. Several millions of time series can be processed as described. This way it is possible to start with only a few smart meters today and to adjust the processing power to the expected increase in quantity.

Because of its service-oriented architecture (SOA) the software is also highly flexible and can be adjusted to any new requirements by the law-makers without any problems - be it in regard to processes, data formats or integration scenarios. Having chosen SOPTIM MDM there is less reason to fear for the safety of your investment. No matter which development the meter operator/metering service provider market will take and how market participants position themselves - SOPTIM solutions can model and support all constellations possible.
