EURELECTRIC is the voice of the electricity industry in Europe. They represent the power sector in over 30 European countries, speaking for more than 3,500 companies in power generation, distribution, and supply. They also have affiliates and associates on several other continents. They stand for carbon-neutral electricity by 2050, competitive electricity for customers, and continent-wide electricity through a coherent European approach.
In 2012 EURELECTRIC redesigned its public website using Umbraco 4.7.2. We worked closely with them and helped them gain a lot of experience mastering Umbraco. During two years Orbit One enabled EURELECTRIC to expand the features and functionalities of the site themselves. Eventually EURELECTRIC wanted to upgrade their environment to a newer version as it was required for certain modules and also for obvious security reasons. This task turned out to be more complex than anticipated.
At Orbit One we believe a customer should be able to freely choose for us, every day. We don’t lock our customers in constraining contracts or complex technologies. We believe in sharing, assisting, enabling and helping a customer achieve his or her goals, not selling as much as possible and force the hand of our customers.
Together with EURELECTRIC Orbit One analyzed the complete website and identified the possibilities and constraints. Step by step in an agile way we tackled every horde challenging each other and deciding as we go what the best option is. Orbit One is able to adapt to the way our customer prefers to work, might it be for a small or big project. We believe this is the way it should be and not the other way around.
That is why EURELECTRIC and Orbit One choose each other, every day again and this because we want to and don’t have to.
