Utilities industry
The pace and impact of change in the global utility industry is staggering. Distributed generation and digitization, stringent carbon emission regulations, and escalating customer expectations are some mega-trends revolutionizing the industry.
Consequently, the need for innovative utility solutions ensuring environmentally-sustainable supply of energy with cost effectiveness is at an all-time high.
The global water and waste-water industry has also witnessed changes—from water-market deregulation to a steady decline in water quality. Ageing water infrastructure leading to leakage has become a critical challenge in both the developed and developing world.
Further, the advent of social media has compelled utility companies to connect with customers via multiple channels and fine-tune interactions to address specific customer needs.
In this current scenario, the industry seeks utility solutions that could help them in customer journey management - understanding and meeting the ever-evolving consumer needs and delivering vibrant and differentiated customer experiences. Utility service providers are also tasked with re-adjusting their business models to operate in the new energy future – an environment that demands matchless energy efficiency.
