Sectors
In a marketplace characterised by deregulation and fierce competition, where customers expect low rates and high quality, utility companies have been driven to reinventing themselves. Traditionally a conservative and highly regulated industry, the market is now demanding companies to be more agile also requiring a clearer view of their competencies and customer needs.
Regulatory pressures, shareholder interest, the pressure to attract new customers, operating costs, resource productivity and levels of safety all drive utility companies toward optimising their operations and enhancing the quality of their services. Furthermore, with the increasing need to manage and report the environmental and social performances of the business, utility companies have been forced to restructure business processes and IT infrastructures to remain competitive and customer focused.
More pressure has been placed on utility company IT departments due to factors such as the complex integration of billing and metering data; measurement, analysis, monitoring and improvement of data quality to support improvements to customer service, customer demand for online products and the need to adopt call centre operations. Such products demand high specification back-end software support, which in turn demands more specialist testing solutions. Insufficiently tested software can severely impact on business, especially in a climate when organisations are working with increasingly constrained budgets. Likewise, in a highly competitive market, utility companies cannot afford to deliver defective solutions, which can detrimentally affect the customer experience with loyalty and switching costs relatively low. Therefore the need for highly reliable and stable software that has withstood rigorous testing is business-critical in today’s market.
