Business: Genesis Energy is one of New Zealand’s largest energy companies. The state-owned organization has 500 staff members and approximately 700,000 customers. It owns and operates 2,000 megawatts of electricity generation.
Challenge: The company’s IT initiatives help it meet its strategic goals and customer service commitments. To ensure such projects are delivered effectively, Genesis Energy needed to replace multiple, disparate systems and establish a centralized management platform and standardized processes that could be used both internally and by external service providers.
Solution: Genesis Energy deployed CA Clarity™ Project & Portfolio Manager (PPM) to underpin its new project management maturity model. The solution helps the company co-ordinate IT resources, track costs and reduce complexity. CA Clarity PPM has also helped to automate core processes, such as reporting.
Result: Improved visibility and governance means that Genesis Energy can deliver successful IT projects in shorter timescales and to a higher quality. This means the company can maximize its multi-million dollar investment in new and emerging technologies that meet its business objectives.
