We also evaluated the vendors support for utilities bridging the gap between IT and Operations Technology. We also looked at the service providers' capabilities related to the deployment of cloud, Big Data and analytics, mobility, and social media in the specific context of the utilities business.
In our selection we looked at the vendor's capability to fulfill the needs of utility companies through the supply of a variety of services that support core business processes of utilities, including innovation areas related to smart grid, smart energy services, smart generation, and smart customer management. In the last few months, we have looked at hundreds of solution providers and consulting companies and shortlisted the ones that are at the forefront of tackling the challenges of the utilities industry.

Additionally, more cross-functional business processes and customer service-focused solutions are being introduced to improve operational efficiency and maintain and expand the customer base.Īs customers and business partners increasingly demand greater empowerment, utilities companies seek to improve interactions and relationships in their entire business ecosystems by enhancing software capabilities for collaboration, gaining deeper customer and market insight and improving process management.
Utility providers are therefore renewing activity directed at improvements in operations, use of information technology and automation of business processes. Consolidation and globalization have changed that, as the industry transforms into a more dynamic market-driven environment with fewer, larger companies.ĭeregulation has opened up new opportunities and new threats, forcing utilities to expand their focus from simply providing energy, to rethink their strategies and align them more closely with customer needs. These projects derive knowledge and expertise from our many other specialisms, including planning, surveying, environment, ecology, architecture, engineering, project & cost management, and more.Traditionally, utilities have had little experience with competition or strategies for winning new customers. Tetra Tech’s vast project portfolio includes development of national utilities supply infrastructure, renewable generation farms, decentralised energy networks, and sustainable energy storage systems. Our engineering services to programmes can be adapted and scaled at a building, regional, national, or global level. Our experience working with BEIS and other UK government departments has given us unique policy insight to guide clients through emergent energy market regulation. Clients, users, or businesses acquire amenities such as data storage space, computing capabilities, applications services, virtual servers, or even hardware rentals such as CPUs, monitors, and input devices. We help commercial, government, and public sector bodies make the energy systems transition that will enable a low-carbon economy. Utility computing is a subset of cloud computing, allowing users to scale up and down based on their needs. Through technical, commercial, regulatory, and environmental services, we design and deliver decentralised energy generation systems and decarbonise legacy utilities infrastructure. Tetra Tech brings over 50 years of experience in bridging innovation gaps with integrated sustainable engineering solutions. Tetra Tech can support your transition to Net Zero Carbon through low-carbon engineering solutions that reflect your organisation’s needs.
