Bas van Dorst discusses how Agder Energi is embracing renewables and distributed energy resources through digital transformation. Some key points:
- Digital transformation requires adopting new mindsets and operational approaches to drive efficiency, reduce defects, and increase customer satisfaction.
- The market opportunity for digital innovation, connected devices, data, and analytics is massive, projected to be over $1 trillion by 2018 and include over 80 billion connected devices by 2025.
- Agder Energi's digital transformation involves moving workloads to Azure in 5 phases to establish a cloud native platform, integrate with IT systems, launch new services, scale workloads, and continuously enable business innovation.
