Utilities
The power and utility sector faces increasing pressure to lead the way in sustainability, maximizing energy efficiency and resource conservation. Critical to their forward-looking innovation is a strong foundation in business and IT delivery.
Executives must evaluate their IT strategies and ensure operational effectiveness is streamlined to support business goals in sustainability and customer satisfaction. Business transformation and digital transformation will enable the anticipation, planning, automation, and management of the industry’s continuous evolution.
On top of innovation and growth, utilities must understand and respond to consumer behaviors, comply with regulations, and mitigate risks inherent in unanticipated events. IT consulting and digital transformation support a future-proofed operational roadmap to achieve these.
Gartner shows 71% of utility business leaders are in desperate need of more strategic insight and action.
