Energy Managed IT

The energy industry’s aging IT infrastructure, hardware, and software lead to power outages, which average 5.8 hours per incident for U.S. electricity customers. If one hour of downtime costs electric utilities $300,000, then 5.8 hours costs a staggering $1.7 million. Not only do system failures cost energy companies business, customers, and reputation, but hardware and software malfunctions can also lead to data loss, security breaches, and lack of communication with field service engineers. A managed service provider (MSP) offers dedicated IT support, monitoring and maintaining the information technology of energy companies to decrease downtime and improve the customer experience.

What is Managed IT for the energy industry?

An MSP can support an energy provider’s IT needs or augment its current IT department to quickly complete tickets, proactively update infrastructure, and preemptively implement data backup and asset tracking for increased system uptime and improved business continuity—all for a predictable monthly cost.

How can Managed IT improve your energy company?

A Siemens and Ponemon Institute survey revealed that 56% of utility respondents had at least one system shutdown or operational data loss per year. Managed IT services deliver routine and proactive monitoring to eliminate IT malfunctions, reduce downtime and subsequent power outages, and ensure data recovery and security. Partnering with an MSP can also switch your energy company’s IT budget from a CAPEX model to OPEX.
