Task description - The scope of services includes the following tasks, which are performed independently:

DeltaXE: The project is to replace Uniper´s old, in-house built legacy system (NEON) for power optimization, scheduling and nomination in the European markets with the new standard software “DeltaXE” of vendor Volue. DeltaXE project is already in the implementation phase with targeted go-live by mid of the year.

iHub implementation: The project is to implement Power (short-term trading, dispatch and power delivery) business requirements (captured in Use Cases by dedicated Business Analysts of the iHub team) in quick and fit for purpose solutions (in form of the so called Business As Usual – BAU items) by the dedicated iHub team / squads made up of developers and superusers. Implementation includes enhancement of already existing systems (DeltaXE, Edge) or development of new solutions (process automation).

• Create a work breakdown structure for the activities per workstream (based on markets: NL, HU, DE) and identify the dependencies between them, including an assessment in terms of risk to business continuity, and technical risk. Basis for this work is the high-level plan and assessment created by the project manager and application management which will be provided in advance. Upload documentation to the relevant project library in MS Teams.
