New alliance partner agreement sees Capgemini and Eneco Group join forces to accelerate innovation and digital transformation

This new agreement with Capgemini will help to see improvement, innovation and transformation of Eneco’s current IT landscape, as well as to create joint technology exploration, joint Intellectual Property (IP) and business development. Preliminary and early focus areas will include: home energy management, electric vehicle charging, local energy generation and digital customer services.

Driven by its mission of sustainable energy for everyone, Eneco’s success will depend on its ability to innovate and transform its current IT landscape and capabilities, in order to reduce total cost of ownership and create a launch platform for its future services. Joeri Kamp, CIO Eneco Group: “Our customers are changing the way they use energy in their homes and for their businesses dramatically. Decentralised and renewable energy have become the standard. Our focus is on facilitating this transformation with agile products and services. To do this effectively we need to move forward in integrating IT solutions with our knowledge of sustainable energy and utilizing energy infrastructures in a way that hasn’t been seen yet in the energy sector. We believe that the IT expertise of Capgemini, its worldwide network and its knowledge of our sector make it the organization to help us in achieving this.”

The new agreement intends also to drive industry wide innovation for utility organizations, as Eneco and Capgemini plan to make a number of newly developed energy services available to other industry players through Capgemini’s Utility to Energy Services (u2es) transformation program, which is helping utility companies to transform into energy services companies.

“Today’s utility companies are facing a plethora of challenges including the need to offer new and innovative services to customers, as well as how to improve the overall cost of their operations,” explains Perry Stoneman, Utilities Global Sector Leader at Capgemini. “We are excited to have established this agreement with Eneco who, as a leader in energy services and new business models, has recognized the industry challenges that it faces, and is embracing them through a significant transformational journey.”
