Leveraging Utilities. Leveraging Organizations.

The utility Industry is the prime facilitator of basic necessities for every consumer in and around the globe. In the far more deregulated market, utilities and unbundle themselves and break down old barriers. However, at the same time, aging grids, rising fuel costs, energy efficiency requirements, and new customer service demands are dramatically affecting the industry on a daily basis. To maintain their leadership position and customer base, utility companies are differentiating themselves by looking for ways to enhance the customer experience while lowering operational costs, thereby increasing shareholder value.

Some of the challenges affecting our utility customers include:

  • Data deluge from the smart meters and varied data sources such as social media, sensors, etc.
  • Rehabilitation and replacement of aging infrastructure.
  • Transmission/Distribution bottlenecks (outages, service interruption/failure, and leakage incidents)
  • Cost pressures leading to optimized capital and operational expenditure.
  • Regulatory reporting and transparency requirements.
  • Disintegrated IT systems.
  • Health and safety measures leading to electricity/water quality monitoring.
  • Governance and accountability.
