Implementation Investments
Wipro Supports NV Energy’s Future Plans of Growing Its Distribution Business
Wipro Technologies announced that it has successfully completed the implementation of an Enterprise Work and Asset Management(EWAM) platform for NV Energy, a US based energy company. This project was rolled out across NV Energy’s north and south Nevada operations covering both electricity and gas distribution businesses and Phase 1 has been completed. NV Energy is a vertically integrated utility serving 1.2 million electric customers and 145,000 gas customers in Nevada and supporting a floating population of 40 million annually.
This implementation will achieve NV Energy’s strategic objectives of standardizing systems and processes across north and south Nevada operations while reducing operating costs, achieving efficiencies in managing capital and O&M work and assets. This large implementation benefits close to 800 NV Energy employees (expanding to 1500 in future phases), and was delivered from multiple geographies. This platform has helped NV Energy consolidate processes across north and south operations, replace outdated systems and achieve scalability to support future growth in the distribution business.
Craig Pinneo, Project Director, Enterprise Work and Asset Management, NV Energy said “Wipro’s ability to manage large business transformation programs, its domain competency, a mature global delivery model and close alignment with our teams and strategic goals helped us in achieving this significant and complex implementation.”
Anand Padmanabhan, Senior Vice President and Global Head – Energy and Utilities, Wipro Technologies said, “We are privileged to partner with NV Energy on their strategic journey of establishing and rolling out an Enterprise wide Work and Asset Management program. This opportunity extends our footprint in the US utilities industry and positions us as a partner of choice on engagements involving transformation and end-to-end services.”
