Your Natural Gas Operations New Year’s Resolution
Can you believe it …!? It’s already December and the New Year is upon us. Have you made your New Year’s resolution … what about for your Natural Gas business? If you haven’t, our team is thinking of you and you should be thinking of nGenue!
For us, 2023 has been another year of hearing the frustrations of countless natural gas business leaders about existing systems or approaches failing to meet the needs of front office, mid-office and back-office staff. Commonly, business leaders told us, “We are seeking a solution that will enable us to transform the way we do business today.” Underlying this statement are typically one or more business objectives:
-
Become less transactional, more analytical
-
Eliminate existing large amounts of data copy / paste
-
Reduce data reconciliation
-
Replace a legacy system that has outlived its useful operational life
-
Retire individually managed spreadsheets in favor of centralized data and institutionalized processes
-
Eliminate productivity issues, such as:
-
slow screen response time
-
simultaneous user saving conflicts
-
single window limitation
-
-
Adopt best practices and realize newfound operational efficiencies
For many natural gas businesses, manual activities are the norm. Spreadsheet inputs, constant updating, and laborious data reconciliation are daily chores that require excessive manual effort and human interaction. Such environments are unproductive, frustrating, and can even break down when so much time is spent trying to ensure the data is accurate and current. And business decision-making dependent on such environments is prone to miscalculation and, in many cases, falls prey to best guessing and poor performance.
It doesn’t have to be this way… nGenue offers a fully integrated solution for both Retail and Wholesale operations that establishes a central repository of trusted data all staff can draw from in real-time. With automation that manages daily or weekly recurring tasks, productivity is massively improved, while business impact from manual error is eliminated. And, when the unexpected envelops your business, upending your regular routine, operational impact is minimized because everyone has what they need from wherever they happen to be working. If your Natural Gas business isn’t operating this way, contact us to explore transforming your natural gas business operations into a model of efficiency and resiliency.
Whether large or small, LDCs, Marketers, Pipelines, Producers, and Utilities face increasing competitive and compliance pressures, requiring increased operational efficiency, data integrity and process improvement. Their operational systems must support this, but most do not. Engage us and we’ll show you how to make an affordable breakthrough. It’s what we do for natural gas companies, and we are experts in our field.
Make nGenue your 2024 New Year’s resolution!
