Energy Resources and Utilities Do you want to maximize the return on your present IT investments and reduce costs? Do you want to re-align your IT objectives with your business goals? In these challenging times, more than ever, you need a partner who is ready for you and your complex IT application environment. Klient’s industry leading solutions help fuel your business’ innovation and growth engine. The global energy markets are standing at crossroads. The big themes that dominated the opening years of the century (prosperity, markets, peak oil, global warming and clean technology) are giving way to a different set of concerns centred on inequality, affordability, regulation and techniques for extracting oil and gas from tight rock formations and ever-deeper below the surface areas. Klient’ energy and utilities solutions are customized to your needs to help you achieve positive business results. Client Challenges The global economy is transitioning through extraordinary times. Demand shrinkage due to global recession and tighter credit controls have hit the top-line and bottom-line of most of the energy, resources and utilities organizations across the globe. This is forcing them to resort to tighter cost controls and better asset utilization levels. Stringent norms and compliances are compelling them to go for greener initiatives and smarter processes. Organizations increasingly want to reduce operational costs, invest in process improvement, optimally utilize existing capacity and increase efficiencies.

Our solutions cater to the entire value chain for the following industries: Oil, Gas and Renewable Energy The global energy sector has been facing major challenges due to the global financial slowdown. The credit crisis has affected the energy industry in the form of crude oil demand decline, price fluctuation and delays in major energy investments, thus directly impacting global oil consumption patterns. Despite the current economic conditions, the long term demand for oil in the global economy would continue to further strain the supply side. Depleting crude reserves, increasing difficulty in tracing new reserves and high capital expenditure to explore non-conventional sources of energy are problems that further affect this industry. To thrive in this competitive marketplace, energy companies are forced to constantly re-evaluate their business and IT strategy.
