Over a year ago, Kaluza - a leading B2B energy platform - was at a pivotal moment. After moving to its own dedicated Jira instance, the company faced a critical need: maintain seamless collaboration with their sister company, still operating on a separate Jira system. This was the spark that began Kaluza’s search for a robust integration tool.
In our original case study, we chronicled Kaluza’s selection process, where they evaluated Exalate, Backbone, and Getint. Ultimately, Getint was chosen for its flexibility, ease of use, and no-strings-attached approach to partner integration.
Today, over a year later, we’re circling back to see how that partnership has grown. The result? A story of scale, stability, and strategic alignment between Kaluza and Getint.

Kaluza operates at the forefront of the energy transition, providing business-critical tools to manage electricity and gas for enterprises. Their platform helps clients visualize and regulate energy flows through applications and APIs, making Kaluza a key player in ensuring energy reliability across global markets.
Their clientele includes large enterprises in the energy sector - household names that, due to confidentiality, remain unnamed but represent some of the most demanding and regulated environments in the world.
For Kaluza, any integration must meet strict enterprise-grade standards - especially when it comes to security, uptime, and scalability.
Kaluza’s original challenge was straightforward on paper but complex in execution: establish a two-way integration between their newly independent Jira instance and their sister company’s Jira environment. The solution needed to:
After testing multiple solutions, including Exalate and Backbone, Kaluza selected Getint for its:
The first Jira-to-Jira connection was just the beginning. Over the last year, Kaluza’s integration landscape has grown dramatically:
Each new integration followed a refined process:
“What started as a single connection became a network. Requests from different teams kept coming in once they saw how smooth the process was,” Renato explains.
While Kaluza operates in a complex regulatory environment, Getint’s UI-first approach ensures integrations remain accessible to non-technical users. Renato highlights:
“I didn’t want to be the sole person managing integrations. With Getint, I can empower others to self-serve. It’s intuitive, flexible, and doesn’t require scripting.”
This contrasts sharply with competitors like Exalate, where Groovy scripting is often necessary, or Backbone, which lacked the flexibility Kaluza needed.
One of the original dealbreakers with other platforms was the requirement for third-party installations. Exalate, for example, needed a node installed on the partner's infrastructure.
Getint sidestepped this entirely:
“We didn’t want to ask our partners to install anything. With Getint, it’s all managed from our side, with secure API key access for external parties.”
This frictionless approach strengthened Kaluza’s relationships with their partners by reducing barriers to collaboration.
Operating in the energy sector means navigating stringent compliance and security reviews. Getint passed all of Kaluza’s internal audits, including legal, IT security, and compliance:
“When auditors ask how we manage third-party communication, we show them Getint. It’s secure, clear, and meets all our requirements.”
Security is enforced through API key-based authentication, allowing partners to revoke access at any time, maintaining data sovereignty.
Over the year, Getint has delivered 99.99% uptime with no disruptions - even during bi-weekly updates:
“We don’t even notice the updates except when new features appear. Nothing ever breaks.”
This seamless update process ensures that Kaluza’s integrations remain reliable and up-to-date, without introducing risk or downtime.
Getint’s support team has been instrumental in Kaluza’s integration success:
“Support is not just responsive - it’s personal. Whether via email or jumping on a call, I always felt like a priority.”
This customer-centric approach goes beyond ticket resolution. It’s about building lasting partnerships.
While Jira-to-Jira integration was the initial scope, Kaluza’s future roadmap includes more diverse system integrations:
“With Getint’s support for platforms like ServiceNow, we’re confident about what comes next.”
Over the last year, Kaluza’s relationship with Getint has evolved from a single Jira-to-Jira connection to a critical integration framework, powering collaboration across multiple third-party partners.
For Kaluza, Getint has delivered:

Looking ahead, Kaluza continues to trust Getint to support their growing integration needs - bridging systems, empowering teams, and driving business-critical collaboration.
Kaluza conducted a thorough evaluation of three integration platforms - Exalate, Backbone, and Getint. While all offered Jira-to-Jira integration capabilities, Kaluza needed more:
Getint stood out for meeting all these requirements, providing a frictionless, scalable solution that aligned with Kaluza’s vision.
On average, it takes one business day to fully configure, test, and deploy a new Jira-to-Jira integration with Getint.
Renato, Kaluza’s IT Engineer, typically follows this process:
This quick turnaround is possible thanks to Getint’s low-code, UI-driven approach, allowing for rapid setup without the need for custom scripting or lengthy development cycles.
Security is paramount for Kaluza, given their role in the energy sector. Getint’s architecture supports API key-based authentication, ensuring:
Getint successfully passed Kaluza’s rigorous security audits, which involved reviews by legal, IT security, and compliance teams. The solution ensures that data privacy and integrity are always maintained.
Getint follows a bi-weekly update cycle, continuously improving the platform and adding new features. These updates are designed to be non-disruptive:
As Renato puts it:
“We barely notice the updates - except when helpful new features appear. Everything keeps running smoothly.”
Absolutely. One of the main reasons Kaluza selected Getint was its user-friendly interface:
This approach supports Kaluza’s goal of decentralizing integration management, ensuring that teams across the business can self-serve when needed.
