We’ve seen it many times. One business challenge slowly turns into several separate projects for the client to manage.

Business analysis sits with one team. Architecture sits with another. Data, integrations, and delivery all have their own people involved. Everyone knows their part, but the client is often the one left holding the full picture together.

This is the thinking behind our cross-functional teams.

Depending on the challenge, we bring together people from energy trading and operations, business analysis, architecture, data, integration, software development and QA.
They work together from the beginning and stay involved through design, implementation, and stabilisation.

It keeps the original business need in sight and gives the client one team responsible for moving the whole challenge forward.

That’s the idea. Build the team around the challenge, instead of splitting it between teams.

We don’t know who nominated Ivanko Belneyski, MBA for Career Show Bulgaria’s Top 100 Talents. Neither does he. 😊

But we’re very glad someone did.

Ivanko is our Senior Account Manager and one of those people who bring good humour, straight answers, and a reassuring sense that everything will be handled, even when things get complicated.

He may not be looking for the spotlight, but today we’re putting him in it anyway.

A throwback to our annual three-day coworking at WorkBetter, followed by our team-building-both LEAD favourites.

“A really nice mix between fun and work… mostly fun.” We couldn’t have described it better ourselves.

P.S. A lot of actual work got done too, we promise.

How much should an ETRM actually do?

That question is getting more interesting as energy trading technology moves toward more modular architectures - and as AI enters the picture.

In his conversation with Gary M. Vasey Ph.D., at CTRM Center, Alexander Nikolov shares his view on where the ETRM core is heading, why the ecosystem around it matters more than ever, and where agentic AI could find a real role.

Plenty to think about in this one.

Thanks to Gary and CTRM Center for the great conversation!

You’ll work across multiple client environments, coordinating with Product, Engineering, Consulting, and Delivery to keep business-critical systems stable and support running smoothly.

If you know your way around enterprise systems, and ETRM or energy systems (even better), we should talk.

Over the past months, we've been working closely with EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG on bringing its auction trading platform in-house, transitioning from a third-party SaaS solution to a cloud-native platform running in EnBW's own AWS environment.

Today, the platform is live as a fully owned EnBW product, giving the business greater ownership of a critical trading capability, increased flexibility to evolve it, and the independence to shape its future on its own terms.

EnBW provided the product vision, architectural direction, infrastructure and security foundations, and continuous feedback that shaped the platform throughout its development, while LEAD contributed its expertise across delivery, engineering, cloud, integration, and the ongoing operation and maintenance of the platform environments and infrastructure. Working side by side, the teams created a solution designed around the way EnBW operates today and can continue to evolve tomorrow. Together, we delivered a stable platform that has been embraced by both business and technical stakeholders, with feedback exceeding expectations and strong confidence in the next phase of its evolution.

The photos are from a workshop we hosted in our Sofia office earlier this year, where colleagues from EnBW and LEAD came together to discuss in person not only the project’s progress and define the roadmap for the months ahead, but also for the collaboration itself. It was an opportunity to strengthen personal connections, get to know people behind the project, and continue building a partnership that extends well beyond delivery.

A big thank you to everyone at EnBW and LEAD who contributed to this milestone. We're proud to be part of this journey and look forward to what's next.
