Energy & Sustainability
Imagine using your data securely to find solutions, today, for tomorrow’s challenges
An energy transition investment of $5.8 trillion is required to achieve global net zero by 2050. To meet this powerful goal, the industry needs innovative solutions to tackle numerous ongoing and extremely complex energy challenges.
Always the first in line to use the latest technology, the energy industry has benefited from machine learning and data warehouses since their conception. Today, AI presents itself as an essential enabler to help us accelerate the energy transition, helping us find low carbon solutions which are also conscious of the need to increase operational profitability, efficiency and resiliency.
Along with the need to innovate, there’s also the need to grow. With an expected 50% increase in global energy demand over the next 30 years, all energy organisations need to expand their workforces.
Our Microsoft-powered solutions help you attract, train, and retain employees for your future-ready workforce. Equipping your people with the skills and tech that to drive your transformation into a sustainable energy operator and service provider, while also ensuring data security and meeting regulatory compliance.

Challenges we can overcome together
Regulatory compliance is a critical aspect of the energy and sustainability industry. Organisations must comply with an endless list of evolving regulations, such as emissions standards and safety requirements. Technology solutions such as predictive analytics and data management tools can help companies stay compliant while reducing the burden of compliance management.
With the constant media spotlight, increased grid demand, enormous amounts of customer data and a workforce heavily leaning on technology, these factors make the energy industry a prime target for cyber incidents. It’s crucial to constantly invest in robust cybersecurity solutions, such as multi-factor authentication and encryption, to protect data and transactions from unauthorised access and breaches.
The energy and sustainability industry are highly competitive, and companies must maximise their operational efficiency to remain profitable. Technology solutions such as automation and digital workflows can help companies streamline their processes, reduce operational costs, and improve overall efficiency.
The energy and sustainability industry generates vast amounts of data, and companies must effectively manage and analyse this data to gain valuable insights. Technology solutions such as data analytics and AI can help companies analyse data in real-time, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions.
As the world becomes more conscious of the need for sustainable practices, companies in the energy and sustainability industry face increasing pressure to adopt environmentally friendly practices. Technology solutions such as green code, IoT and AI can help companies reduce their carbon footprint, increase energy efficiency, and promote sustainable practices.

Our goal is to help energy and sustainability industry to achieve their sustainability goals through digital transformation.
We envision a future where companies can seamlessly integrate digital solutions into their operations, improve their environmental impact, and promote sustainable working practices while maintaining regulatory compliance.
“As the projects and the team grew, the SharePoint environment got more crowded and less structured. Thanks to Rapid Circle, the new intranet looks beautiful, professional, and organised. The page provides increased connection for the employees working from home and the ones who don’t work at Porthos full time to catch up and understand what we’ve been working on.”
