A world leader in energy solutions and technology with a global presence intends to accelerate its data-driven innovation. The company wanted to unleash the potential of its enterprise data assets to accelerate the global transition to sustainable energy solutions and set out to develop a cutting-edge platform for enterprise data and advanced analytics that breaks data siloes, integrates and streamlines access to all data sources, and facilitates faster development of innovative solutions. An analysis by Accenture, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, states that “digital technologies, if scaled across industries, can deliver up to 20 percent of the 2050 reduction needed to hit the International Energy Agency net-zero trajectories in the energy, materials, and mobility industries.”
The company wanted the platform to help instill a data-driven culture across the company and facilitate the digital DNA of all its products and services. To verify that the platform was designed and built to achieve these goals, the company used Amazon Web Services (AWS) to envision and deliver the platform and its capabilities. The project mandate was focused on delivering quantifiable business value and providing a delightful user experience. To accomplish these goals, the company used the AWS “Working Backwards” process, starting with the goals and working backward. This method engaged all the stakeholders in articulating the platform vision and verified that the technical implementation responded to clear business and user needs.
