Energy and Utilities

Companies in Energy and Utilities businesses face big challenges. Traditional suppliers face enormous demands for capital investment to upgrade aging infrastructure. At the same time, they face competitive pressures from new players in newly deregulated markets. Successfully managing these challenges requires first-class Project and Program Management capabilities.

The demand for green power and the emergence of new ways of delivering energy to customers also drive new innovation, new technologies, greater competition, and more opportunities. These projects typically require different PM approaches to address the different scale, tighter time frames, and non-traditional technologies involved. And the presence of innovation or technical risk can present an opportunity to access tax benefits through the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program.

SOMOS has provided Project Management training to many companies in the Energy and Utilities industries. We have also advised on PM Processes and Systems, and have supported our customers in managing individual projects.

In PM Systems, SOMOS has successful implementations with all current scheduling tools including Primavera, Open Plan, and Microsoft Project Server, and we have integrated these with Cost Management / Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) such as Deltek Cobra, MPM, and wInsight.  As well, our consultants have experience integrating PM systems with SAP, Oracle Financials, JD Edwards, Deltek Cost Point, Deltek Vision and Microsoft Dynamics, with their integrated time recording systems and with external systems such as Time Control.

Finally, our SR&ED consultants have helped Energy companies benefit from hundreds of thousands of dollars of legitimate tax benefits.
