Energy industry

The energy market in transition: In the environment of digitization and growing demand for sustainable solutions, dynamic adaptability and scalable, innovative value creation processes are among the critical success factors for companies in the energy industry.

Challenge of the industry

Sustainable energy solutions such as renewable energies, energy storage and smart grids are leading to a transformation of the energy market. This requires a transformation of the companies participating in the energy market. The focus of consumers is shifting away from pure commodity products to higher customer demands. Customers are looking for holistic, sustainable and affordable energy solutions. This requires adjustments in the product portfolio, a well thought-out customer journey, and internal processes that support customer-centric offerings. Traditional energy suppliers must evolve and transform into holistic solution providers for the "Energiewende@home". In order to successfully serve the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions, access to products and installation capacities is necessary. This requires close cooperation with various partners and results in a changed, more complex value chain.
