Energy Platform
Case overview
Our client, a regional utility provider serving over 500,000 customers, faced mounting challenges with outdated infrastructure and increasing customer demands for transparency. Their existing systems consisted of siloed legacy applications developed over decades, creating inefficiencies, and data inconsistencies, and preventing the implementation of modern energy management features. Customer satisfaction scores had dropped to concerning levels, with billing disputes and service interruptions causing particular frustration.
