IP Systems Ltd. is a knowledge-based company. We believe that the knowledge of our staff and our in-house cooperation mean a key factor in our success. IP Systems is working on the cross-disciplinary field of energy economy, IT and mathematical modeling. We also pay attention to ergonomic. Our staff has been educated at highest level of these disciplines, working on these fields for several years. Some of them teach on universities, others have awards from competitions, or certificates from technology vendors like Microsoft or Oracle.
Beyond the high level of our staff IP Systems as a knowledge-based organization force the staff to continuously develop the cooperation and best practices.

He adapts strategic management with special key performance indexes of innovation, and sets up an adaptive organization model, using quality circles in the management, too. It conforms to SCRUM development management and ITIL support and maintenance management.
”As a Transmission System Operator we had to face several challenges in the early phase of liberalization of the European gas market. At the beginning we tried to solve the issues with other IT companies, but we had several communication problems. It was difficult to tell the IT people about the business processes of capacity booking, nomination, allocation etc. They did not understand us. We also did not understand what they were asking about data processing and structures, we wanted to have an IT platform, but we could not have it on a reasonable price level.
When we met the present staff of IP Systems, we realized that these software experts were really engaged themselves with our industry. They understood what we were talking about, they were ready to consider together not only sending questions. We had nice workshops in a very innovative atmosphere and had a feeling that we were involved into the software development. It was a very innovative time, planning the screens together, and to see how it was working some weeks later. Thanks to the mutual understanding we have had a good partnership with IP Systems for several years, and developed different modules of our IT platform, eg. Capacity Auction module, Daily Balancing Market.” – dr. János Zsuga, Földgázszállító Zrt.
