2. QA is the way to success for Digital Utilities The utilities sector is the one most vulnerable to disruption as well as to causing disruption. In an event of a natural disaster or calamity, the destruction of utilities’ infrastructure results is the reason for a significant amount of chaos that typically ensues as everyday life comes to a standstill. Over the years, the industry has focused on developing innovative solutions to build greater resilience and higher reliability for the customers. And the move toward digital transformation is another step in the endeavour. Digital utilities have three focus areas – customer channels, the delivery of new services, and the role of digital in disrupting business models – with data, organizational governance, and culture & change management also playing a key role. By leveraging digital opportunities, the utilities sector is not only ensuring uninterrupted services to the customers but also optimizing its own value chain through improved productivity and efficiency. As per a McKinsey estimate, digital optimization in the utilities industry can boost profitability by 20 to 30 percent with optimized plant maintenance, spare-parts management, fuel management, improved decision making, preventive and predictive maintenance, and better operations and management through enterprise resource planning.
