Read moreThe energy transition, climate goals, and changing consumer behavior are putting significant pressure on energy and water companies. Digitalization is essential, but it also brings challenges. Key questions include: How do you maintain control over your digital strategy? And how do you ensure both quality and progress within the organization?
One of the biggest challenges is establishing robust and adaptable information management that strengthens the complex chains of production, distribution, and service delivery. This includes integrating smart meters, decentralized generation, managing grid congestion, and real-time infrastructure monitoring. Achieving this requires well-integrated IT landscapes, data-driven management, and secure data exchange in compliance with regulations.
Many organizations also struggle to leverage information effectively. There is a need for insights into energy consumption, capacity, and maintenance, as well as governance and ownership of information. At the same time, the introduction of new technologies—such as IoT, AI, and digital twin solutions—demands new ways of working. Employees must be properly engaged, trained, and supported throughout these changes.
