Energy and Utilities

The rise in global population has created strong demand for energy and utility facilities. This demand is not only creating ups and downs in energy costs but also the need for more clean energy production.

But volatile markets, an aging workforce and infrastructure, and increased regulation has put the pressure on energy and utility companies. To achieve success, these companies need to enhance their use of assets and resources and re-direct investments towards IT-enabled innovation.

Logistics and Supply Chain

Companies in the Logistics and Supply Chain industry face multiple challenges: increased volatility, evolving demand for higher levels of consistency and scale, rate and revenue management, capacity planning and improved efficiencies.

The financial and operational efficiency of the supply chain process is dependent on effective technological systems that are comprehensive in scope and integrated across divisions.

Oil and Gas

The drop in oil prices means that Oil and Gas companies must intensify their efforts to be cost-effective. The challenges facing the Oil and Gas industry are impacting the bottom line:

• Volatile crude prices
• Uncertain energy policies
• The need to go farther afield to access reserves
• Climate change concerns
• Competition from new technologies
• Health, safety and environmental risks
