™ is the solution for us
The full service providers“We are looking for a new platform so we are able to innovate and create new products for our customers without getting stuck in the middle due to our IT legacy. At the same time,we are not looking to start a new multi-million IT implementation project which is not in line with the reality of our industry.”
Seasoned pioneers“Our current system has brought us not only success, but has also allowed us to get to where we stand today, from a new entry to a competitive, appreciated brand. For our next step, we are looking for a new platform that is scalable to keep up with our growth but without losing our current flexibilitytodevelopnewproductsandservices.”
The green adventurers“We are a new, innovative company which has successfully worked with our customers toestablish that green is the way forward and that, together, we can work toward a more sustainable world. But now, we are looking for a new IT platform to make our goals come to fruition. The new IT platform needs to have a modern pricing structure, without large upfront investments, and should be able to quickly launch new products”

Inni is designed to fast forward your company
The newbies“We are a company producing
and consuming large volumes of electricity and currently we have a contractwithanenergycompany;
however, with our expertise, webelieve that we can do better and take
care of our own energy business. For this, we are looking for a platform that
takes care of the IT challenge of contracting, metering and billing so we can focus on what
we do best.”
The working bees“We are industry-leading experts
in back-of-office processes for energy companies and help them run more efficient
operations with lower costs so that our customers can focus on their
customers. Currently, we work on their systems but are interested in
a system of our own to improve upon our services through
standardizationandkeepingourflexibilitytocustomize
the platform to fulfill our customer’s needs.”
