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.
