InterCloud

Power, Fuel & Utilities

Assets, projects and compliance
managed in one platform

Energy producers, fuel distributors and utilities operate long-lived assets under close regulatory and safety oversight, and the public depends on their service at every hour. InterCloud implements and operates the platform for energy operations, finance, procurement, projects and compliance, together with the monitoring that informs the IT team of a fault before it interrupts work.

Challenges

Challenges in Energy and Utilities

  • Long-lived, high-value assets

    Plants, networks, depots and equipment remain in service for decades. Their cost, condition and depreciation must be recorded accurately for owners, lenders and regulators.

  • Regulation, safety and audit

    Operators report to regulators and answer to auditors on safety, environment and finance. Evidence collected by hand from several systems is slow to produce and difficult to defend.

  • Large capital projects

    New capacity and major maintenance are delivered as projects over several years, with many contractors. Budget, commitments and progress must be visible to management throughout.

  • Systems that must remain available

    Operations, billing and customer service depend on systems that run at all hours. An undetected failure reaches customers and field teams quickly.

How We Help

Keep Assets, Projects and Compliance Evidence in One Place

Our Approach

Evidence Produced by the System That Does the Work

Purchases, asset movements, project costs and approvals are recorded in one platform, with the user, the time and the authority behind each step. Reports for management, auditors and regulators are drawn from those records.

Operational technology and specialist systems remain in place. Data exchange with them is designed through the GlowScale integration hub, APIs and webhooks, with the scope and the security controls agreed with your engineering and information security teams.

Organizations that must keep data on their own premises can run GlowScale on-premise or in a private cloud. InterCloud implements the platform, migrates asset registers and balances, trains the teams, and remains responsible for operation and support.

  • Fixed assets, projects and procurement on one platform
  • Governance, risk and compliance records with approvals
  • Role-based access with SSO and two-factor authentication
  • Deployment in the cloud, in a private cloud or on-premise

Outcomes

What a Project Is Designed to Deliver

A project for an energy company or utility is planned around the following outcomes.

  • Asset register reconciled to the ledger, with depreciation calculated by the system
  • Capital project budgets, commitments and costs visible throughout the project
  • Procurement with enforced approvals and audit trails
  • Risk and compliance records kept with the evidence that supports them
  • Faults in operational IT systems detected before they interrupt service
  • Customer information and announcements published promptly in multiple languages
