On Wednesday, October 11th in the "Optimizing Billing and Revenue Processes" session, GasTerra B.V. will speak on "Implementing a Flexible Billing System for the High End Natural Gas Market." A leading European natural gas supplier, the company is using LODESTAR's billing application, BillingExpert®.

He will discuss "Addressing a Critical Business Challenge with LODESTAR® Meter Data Management(TM)" at this showcase, taking place Tuesday, October 10th at 14:40. Managing meter data efficiently is becoming more of a priority in this region as a result of a focus on reducing energy consumption driven by large price rises as well as environmental concerns. "Energy providers are seeking vendors with interval data experience," says Mr. Ing-Simmons. "Our product is the 3rd generation of our meter data management software, so we have three decades of experience managing interval data." The company will also host a welcome reception the evening of October 10th at 17:30 featuring a welcome address given by Julien Group's, Vice President and Managing Director Europe, LODESTAR. All conference attendees are invited to attend.
