Data-Driven Development
Organisations across the energy industry are pivoting to become data-driven, harnessing the power of their data to make informed business decisions. However, we all know that decisions are only as robust as the underlying data and the systems used.
There is an astonishing amount of old software and products in the energy industry; that has become business critical but lack the capability and resilience that modern technology brings today. Increasing focus on getting the right foundations in place is helping forward-thinking energy organisations to become data driven.
At Sword, we help our energy customers avoid the ‘garbage in, garbage out’ trap by ensuring the right data is collected, structured, accessible, and in the right shape to make informed business decisions. We often develop new applications (apps) to integrate into all aspects of a business when off-the-shelf software solutions don’t quite fix a customer’s precise problem, from legacy issues bringing unwelcome risk into operations to inefficient processes making everyday tasks complicated or prone to human error.
