PURENRG’S CIO

Daniel, can you tell us a little bit about your IT organization?

Reducing the complexity of the IT landscape Improving the availability of our services Providing a secure and flexible IT environment

Mary: Let me introduce you to Daniel, PureNRG’s CIO. Daniel, can you tell us a little bit about your IT organization?

Daniel: Hi Mary, thank you for the introduction. Sure, I can tell you about PureNRG. Energy companies can win new customers through price point, services, and new technologies to differentiate themselves. Our IT organization needs to support all these efforts appropriately and we’re doing everything we can to modernize our IT organization. For example, we've been reducing the complexity of our IT landscape, improving the availability of our services, and providing a secure and flexible environment.

I look forward to your input!

Monitor-on-Demand

There are already two possible candidates for virtualization at PureNRG, its Monitor-on-Demand portal and its Bill-Back application.

Monitor-on-Demand

This online portal allows our customers to control their appliances through an online portal as well as review their electricity usage per appliance.

Bill-Back

PureNRG has recently started a large initiative to allow customers to deliver energy back to the power grid, and it expects this program to grow rapidly over the next 10 years. However, the billing system that PureNRG is currently using cannot support this initiative. PureNRG ran a pilot with a new system, but it could not handle the load. PureNRG is now looking at creating a virtualized development environment and hosting the application in a virtual environment.

HISTORY

Daniel, can you tell us a little bit about your IT organization?

~ ■ 1988-1999

Mary: Let’s take a look at PureNRG’s history to better understand what it is trying to achieve today. 1988-1999

When the British government privatized the electrical power industry in 1988, the London-based ElectriCo acquired a coal plant owned by Harrison Ltd., one of the major coal plants in the UK. After a few similar acquisitions, ElectriCo became a leading player in the UK energy industry.

2000-2010

• In 2000, the company acquired the Swedish, formerly state-owned utility company, Sandin, and the Finnish electricity company, GDN.

• ElectriCo began investing in solar-powered energy after 2004.

• After entering the Dutch and German markets in 2005, the company changed its name to PureNRG.

• Recently, they have acquired the fourth largest utility company in France, Aloge, which had a strong focus on R&D in the field of green energy.

• In 2008, PureNRG acquired two R&D facilities, one in Japan for tidal energy research and the other in the US for solar-energy research, to become a worldwide leader in green energy production.

Sudent | Course Introduction

2010-Present

PureNRG does not plan any further mergers or acquisitions and wants to start focusing on improving the company internally. They will start by addressing some of the major problems in their IT organization:

• Difficulty in maintaining many different applications and platforms

• Improving the availability of trading systems

• Balancing the load on the reporting software from Sales & Distribution

• Difficulty in managing the R&D department remotely
