Energy and Utility
Energy and utility transformation is being driven at an unprecedented rate
For the past few years, societal, environmental and technological forces have been influencing how the utility industry responds to their own major market challenges. Utility business and operational transformation is being driven at an unprecedented rate by:
- Regulatory market reform, new entrants and disruptive technologies
- Growth in renewable generation and distributed resources
- Aging assets with increased expectations on reliability
- Aging workforce poised for retirement
- Increased pressure on operational efficiency and workforce productivity
- Increasing desire and need for participation by consumers in the energy value chain
- Rise of distributed and micro generation and the trend to a federated operational model
This creates more opportunities, which in turn has its own limitations. Today the industry is heavily engaged in various technology and business transformation initiatives. ThoughtStorm’s rich domain experience coupled with capabilities in technologies such as IoT, Automation, Analytics and Artificial Intelligence helps organizations take a giant leap forward in this transformation journey.
