Energy Industry solutions that transform how companies manage, process, share and gain insights from their engineering and asset-related content
Energy industry overview
Energy companies, such as Oil and Gas producers and Utility providers, are fighting a constant battle to remain profitable and embrace the new technologies that are disrupting their industry. With the reduction in oil prices and the rise of renewable technologies, Energy business leaders need to ensure their existing assets operate to the maximum efficiency and at the lowest cost, while continuing to meet safety and operating regulations. To achieve this Operational Excellence, Energy organizations need to reengineer their business processes, provide systems that incorporate their extensive supplier networks and analyze their data to improve operational decisions.

Energy industry challenges
-
The rise of renewables
The use of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind) is about to undergo a dramatic acceleration due to developments in battery technology and the reduced cost of technology. This will significantly affect the Oil and Gas (fossil) industry and the electrical utility markets, slowing down the demand for their products.
-
The great crew change
Downsizing has been both cyclical and harsh and deprived the industry of some of its smartest veteran talent while scaring away new recruits. Younger employees expect less traditional workplaces, incorporating more collaboration and flexible working locations with the use of the latest technology.
-
Operational excellence
With the price of oil dropping, operational excellence has become a key initiative over the past five years, dedicating organizations to keeping operational costs low and implementing new technology to optimize asset production. With the vast amount of data generated from their operating assets, Energy companies are challenged with managing and analyzing this data for maximum business benefit.
-
Focus on the customer
The Utility sector, in particular electricity supply, is undergoing radical change across the globe. The disruption of new and local sources of energy, such as solar, and the introduction of competition through deregulation, are causing Utility companies to focus on how they support and communicate with their existing customers.
