Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

1. The Digital Push to
Enhance Customer
Experiencein Utilities
A WNS Perspective
2. 01
A WNS Perspective
The digital revolution is making a serious, albeit delayed, entry into the utilities industry. While
distributed generation, renewable energy and smart grids have set the tone for new capabilities and
commercial models, the crucial area of customer experience lends itself to future opportunities –
especially in a scenario where consumption has hit a plateau due to distribution efficiencies.
The emergence of non-traditional companies (especially in smart energy management systems) holds
the key to digital opportunities in the retail side of utilities. Google and Apple have opened the gates
to such possibilities with their forays into smart home solutions. Companies such as German
telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom are introducing smart home platforms to integrate
solutions from multiple providers.
So, what steps can utilities take to transform in today’s digital era to provide seamless digital customer
experience? How can they engage with customers’ preferred channels for maximum impact? More
importantly, how can they accomplish this with speed and scale?
Utilities can take a leaf or two from how banking, telecom and retail industries have deployed
digitization beyond mere customer touchpoints – and into customer journeys. This will enable utilities
to holistically capture their customers’ experiences, and identify gaps that negatively impact customer
satisfaction and engagement. It will also enable the slashing of unnecessary costs related to repeated
actions.
Let’s look at the customer lifecycle for a utility consumer. Typical customer journeys include (a)
acquisition and onboarding (b) tariffs, billing and collections (c) account management (such as service
requests and complaints) (d) emergency services and outages (e) value-additions (such as bundling of
services) (f) retention initiatives and (g) support for customer exit, if requested.
The utilities’ view of customers has today extended far beyond consumers on the network.
Customer-centricity is a top priority, and personalizing offerings to enhance engagement is key to
retaining customers. Especially, when consumers can switch service providers.
The Digital Push to Enhance Customer
Experience in Utilities
3. 02
Going digital eliminates inconsistencies due to
fragmented processes and disparate systems —
factors that impede seamless customer
experience. Digital includes the automation of
cumbersome manual and paper processes,
addition of new digital channels of support,
mobile applications to improve the productivity
of field workers, efficiency in gathering
real-time consumer feedback, or improving
stakeholder visibility across the ecosystem.
Automation, when coupled with robotics,
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning
(ML), enables the wide-ranging application of
Intelligent Automation (IA) across the
enterprise. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is
already enabling energy and utility companies
to achieve newer levels of efficiency and quality.
Utilities are now implementing innovative
platforms that offer a 360-degree view of the
customer along with inbuilt knowledge
management and AI-assisted transactions. This
helps utilities improve First Contact Resolution
(FCR) and deliver the best experience to
customers.
Whatever be the customer journey, utilities can
transform the way they deliver customer
service. In the process, they can free up
employees to focus on more strategic work, and
thereby drive new efficiencies and cost savings.
Driving Seamless
Customer Experience
By adopting AI, ML, automation (including RPA)
and analytics, utility companies are enabling
smart infrastructure, processes and data, and in
the process gearing up for digital
transformation.
Mapping Customer Journeys
Any transformation initiative needs to be based
on consistent, streamlined processes across the
customer journey. Such mapping needs to take
a customer-centric view by looking at key
challenges and customer expectations before
designing the processes and deploying the
technology around it. Taking an end-to-end
view delivers vital process improvements and
eliminates waste.
Creating a Digital Operating Model
Once process mapping is completed, the right
digital operating model needs to be devised to
deliver consistent customer experience across
multiple channels such as phone, web chat and
e-mail.
Transforming Front and Back-offices
As the hub of direct interaction with the
customers, the front office is key to delivering
effective customer experience. Accordingly,
front office transformation initiatives should
include the following:

■ Additional channels of omni-channel
support, with options for the customers to
choose their preferred channel of interaction
(web, phone, chat or e-mail). Consistency of
experience across channels is vital —
customers prize the experience of seamless
connects across all channels. Improved
customer processes also prove to be
cost-effective
■ Skilled resources should be engaged as
service experts, and must be trained across
channels and on end-to-end processes for
consistent ‘right first time’ and
quality support
■ Data and speech analytics should be
implemented to derive meaningful customer
insights that can be leveraged for a single
customer view across multiple systems. Such
intelligence will enable companies to be
more responsive, segment customers more
efficiently for personalized services (in the
areas of demand management, tariff plans,
consumption optimization, and device and
infrastructure maintenance) and enhanced
customer experiences
With increased digital and self-service
interactions by customers, an organization’s
back-office now plays a pivotal role in creating
service differentiation. The back-office also
represents the largest opportunity for
significant improvements in customer
experience and cost reduction. Based on our
experience of running intelligent operations for
multiple utility providers, the following
components play a key role in transforming
traditional back-office functions into digital and
intelligent operations:
■ Automation, fueled by advanced workflow
solutions, robotics and AI have the potential
to improve the quality, speed and
cost-effectiveness of services
■ Customer-centric, digital operating models,
strengthened by advanced analytics and
robotics, will be crucial in transforming
back-office operations. The success of a
back-office process is traditionally measured
by Service-level Agreements (SLAs) and other
metrics. However, companies have to look
beyond metrics and identify unspoken
customer expectations. Design thinking can
help in uncovering new opportunities in
back-office transformation
■ Automation and data-based
decision-making enables differentiation
through customized bundling of tariffs, plans
and offers to meet and exceed customer’s
expectations. Process standardization and
automation should be implemented with
equal enthusiasm to ensure it does not get
over-complicated

Cultural Change and Positive Customer Experiences
Digital transformation across customer journeys is not just
technological transformation. It requires a shift to a service
culture that views customers as not mere consumers but as
individuals with specific preferences and buying habits – and
build lasting relationships. It calls for an ongoing
organizational commitment and continued cultural backing to
deliver differentiated customer experience. Front-runners and
change agents who lead this exercise must be recognized and
rewarded.
