Business leaders in the energy industry recognize that sustainability is fundamental to remain competitive. To help our clients discover and create new sustainable energy sources, our consultants need to have the right expertise, skills and industry background as well as work with a wide array of energy sector ecosystem partners.   

As an existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Partner offering consulting services, we already are helping clients optimize their AWS Cloud adoption, migration and modernization. IBM Consulting brings together expertise in security, enterprise scalability and open innovation with Red Hat OpenShift to help our clients with seamless transformation, as well as to infuse intelligent workflows powered by data, AI, and automation.

That’s why we are proud to announce that IBM Consulting is the Global System Integrator selected to be the launch partner for the AWS Energy Competency. The AWS Energy Competency provides energy customers the confidence to select a skilled partner like IBM Consulting to help accelerate their digital transformations. This designation recognizes that we have demonstrated deep expertise helping our customers leverage AWS cloud technology to transform complex systems and accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy future.

Achieving the AWS Energy Competency signifies technical proficiency within the energy industry, including proven customer success developing solutions across the value chain, from production operations and optimization to commodities trading, new energy solutions, and more.

To receive the designation, our IBM Consulting team went through a rigorous technical validation process, including a customer reference audit. Gasum and Galp are just two examples of our joint client successes in the energy sector.

At re:Invent 2021, AWS also named IBM Consulting as its Rising Star partner of the year. This recognition from AWS builds on our growing relationship with the cloud company like combining the benefits of IBM Open Data for Industries for IBM Cloud Pak for Data and the AWS Cloud to serve energy customers and the general availability of Celonis Execution Management System (EMS) on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) as a managed cloud service.  

Earning this new AWS Energy Competency will give our energy clients further confidence that IBM Consulting has the expertise and skills necessary to help them achieve a sustainable energy future.
