Power Generation

The global energy demand continues to grow at a rapid rate–by 2040 the equivalent of a whole new China and India will need power, a 30% increase on today. Many are turning to renewable energy sources to meet this demand. Renewables offer the opportunity to generate power more efficiently, avoid exposure to market forces and get ahead of the competition. On top of this, taxation, regulations and consumer demand for green energy are making the use of traditional fuels less attractive. However, a diverse generation mix presents its own challenges, often resulting in more fragmented and geographically dispersed operations.

This type of organizational structure makes it difficult to get an integrated view of company performance, as well as collaboration with vendors and suppliers. The issue is further complicated when organizations rely on a range of applications for projects, assets, supply chain and HR, as finance teams must look at every function separately.

IFS offers a streamlined, flexible solution that supports a global, multi-company organizational structure. It delivers transparency in financial reporting at global and local levels, while ensuring compliance throughout the business.

IFS offers comprehensive functionality to support the entire asset lifecycle, from cradle to grave. Whether you are planning new investments in generation capacity, operating and maintaining it over its productive lifecycle or executing a refit or decommissioning, then IFS provides a single version of the truth to help you maximize value through the asset lifecycle.

This means IFS offers Power Generation companies the choice of a global enterprise solution with world-leading asset management functionality, or a best-of-breed beating Enterprise Asset Management solution that can be integrated into your wider landscape.
