Utilities
With the energy turnaround and liberalisation of the Swiss energy market, the framework conditions along the entire energy value chain are being redefined.
Energy suppliers are forced to question and reorient their traditional business models. New strategies and services, portfolio adjustments, the expansion of the core business and appropriate cooperation are essential measures to transform the pure energy supplier into a successful service provider. The aim is to align value creation more closely with customer benefit and to achieve both cost reductions and increased efficiency through optimised business processes. At the same time, security of supply must be guaranteed at all times.
Energy companies should anticipate and actively address changing demands in times of change. Eraneos advises you comprehensively from strategy development to operationalisation. To this end, we support you in the provision and optimization of your operational model with regard to organization, business processes and your ICT landscape. Examples include the creation and implementation of a digitization strategy, the development of new "smart" business models or the conception and implementation of smart metering.

Successful ICT procurement is not witchcraft
Eraneos FOCUS (2014/06)
Among other things, procurement involves a lot of money. Individual cases of corruption scandals in the media distract from the actual purpose of procurement: First, the required service or the desired system must be specified and then a partner must be found for its realisation. This is a difficult starting position considering that often only rough ideas exist regarding the object of delivery.
