Neta Open Suite: the composable platform enabling the digital ecosystem for Utilities

In an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving Energy & Utilities market, a platform’s ability to integrate natively into customers’ application landscapes has become a strategic requirement. Neta Open Suite was designed precisely with this goal in mind: to provide an open, composable and cloud-native platform designed to enable a truly ecosystem-based approach.

Enabling an open ecosystem

Neta Open Suite moves beyond the logic of monolithic solutions by providing a modular and interoperable model that enhances customers’ existing IT environments. Application modules can be adopted progressively and integrated with legacy systems and third-party solutions, ensuring operational continuity and freedom to evolve.

This approach makes it possible to cover regulated core processes (Meter-to-Cash, CRM, Billing, Settlement) while also enabling new digital services and emerging models such as VAS and Energy Communities.

Each application module within the Suite is designed to be:

• progressively adoptable
• integrable with legacy systems and third-party solutions
• composable according to the specific needs of the customer and market context

Neta API Manager as an ecosystem enabler

At the heart of Neta Open Suite’s integration capabilities is the Neta API Manager, based on Azure API Management. Through centralized API governance, the platform makes integration simple, secure and scalable, turning APIs into a true business accelerator.

Neta API Manager enables customers to:

• expose application services in a controlled manner
• manage API versioning, policies and monitoring
• ensure security, performance and observability
• facilitate integration with system integrators and technology partners

APIs thus become the common language of the customer’s digital ecosystem.

Security and control by design

The openness of the ecosystem is supported by a strong focus on security. Authentication and authorization processes based on standards (OpenID Connect and OAuth2, JWT token and subscription key management), throttling policies and real-time monitoring ensure complete control over every interaction without compromising the user experience.

Cloud-native and composable architecture

Neta Open Suite features a cloud-native, microservices-based architecture, with decoupled frontend and backend components. This enables:

• independent evolution of individual components
• service reuse
• automatic scalability on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Shared platform services (workflow, scheduling, logging, document management) ensure consistency and process industrialization across the entire Suite.

Data as the backbone of the ecosystem

Alongside APIs, the Lakehouse Data Manager represents the second pillar of composability.

By integrating internal and external data into a Single Source of Truth, the platform eliminates information silos and enables advanced analytics, AI and new data-driven services. This approach makes it possible to:

• break down information silos
• ensure data consistency and quality
• enable advanced analytics, AI and Machine Learning
• turn data into a strategic asset for new digital services

Value for customers

By combining API Manager, cloud-native architecture and data platform, Neta Open Suite enables customers to:

• integrate rapidly into their existing IT ecosystem
• reduce integration time-to-market
• protect existing investments
• build an evolving, open and sustainable architecture

Neta does not impose a predefined model, but enables an ecosystem where technology, processes and data can be freely combined to support business evolution.
