The energy transition impacts all aspects of energy production, delivery and consumption, and exposes the drawbacks inherent in outdated, time-intensive workflows. To remain competitive in this dynamic environment, utilities are rethinking their approach to digitizing documents and data to provide powerful features that guide future projects, identify maintenance priorities, reduce outages, and increase revenues.
In this on-demand event, we will explore key factors driving the energy transition, dive into how utilities are expanding and integrating their use of data-driven technologies, and showcase some of the strategies that utilities can begin to put in place today to bolster their competitiveness in an uncertain and dynamic market.
Key takeaways include:
•   What can be done to integrate new technology and the challenges being solved through the use of digital tools
•   How applications can simplify the design analysis process and ensure required standards are met
•   The role policy makers play in encouraging adoption of new and emerging technologies
•   What technology innovators are considering for the next evolution grid and use of digital twins
