The energy & utilities vertical is characterized by huge capital investments, stringent regulations, and technical expertise as well as complex relationships with industry peers, governments, and investors. Moreover, the data volume has increased significantly over the years in this vertical with increased prevalence of IoT. A huge database is prepared with data collected from worldwide locations, suppliers, and plants. The energy industry has been using analytics to determine where to drill for reserves that are way below the earth’s surface. Applying automation and analytics to achieve operational efficiency is necessary to achieve fast growth in this sector. Certain operational reports that took 10–12 hours to run in the past can now be done in 15–30 minutes using In-memory analytics. The technology that allows utilities to use customer data also lets companies monitor grids for outages in real time using smart meters and sensors positioned around the network. Utilities using in-memory applications not only use the data the system provides, but also provide it to the customers and retain the same for future analysis.
