Sonda launches business consultancy for Utilities

 

Sonda, a technology solutions and services company, announces the creation of a business consulting area for Utilities companies. The objective of the initiative is to support all sectors of the utilities market that need to improve business management, as well as activities related to regulatory demands and customer service.
 
At this moment, the integrator's focus is on electric power companies, which are already at an advanced stage of regulation, and on the sanitation sector that, with the more effective action of regulatory agencies and government pressure for universal access to sanitation , need to adapt to this new model. In this sense, there are credit lines from the federal government for the expansion of water distribution and sewage services and for structuring projects, and one of Sonda's offers is precisely aimed at the preparation of Business Plans that allow access to these funds.
 
“Today, generating and transmitting companies, and especially energy distributors and sanitation companies, need support for the entire regulatory framework, looking to the desires of a customer who increasingly demands quality services, fair prices and clear and fast information. ”, explains José Bento Bueno, director who takes over the new area.
 
The executive worked for more than 30 years in the electricity sector in companies such as Light, Eletropaulo, EDP Bandeirante, Elucid and has been with Sonda for five years. In these companies, Bueno was involved in managing large technology implementation projects and also in conducting strategic consulting projects to improve business processes.
 
Sonda's business consultancy enables companies to use best management practices through services that range from the diagnosis of processes and applications, through the development of a master plan and Business Case for IT projects, to the optimization of the cycle with the implementation of systems that enhance the provision of services to the community.
 
“The unit was born organically, from a potential developed by Sonda 25 years ago in the energy sector, especially. Now, the goal is to expand the expertise that the company has in the energy segment to the water and gas sectors, given the signs of a resumption of investments in the country and, mainly, in the Utilities market”, contextualizes Bueno.
 
Altogether, the core has the collaboration of 180 multi-specialist professionals. Among the future perspectives of the new front is the support given to distributors in the evolution towards digital trends, taking concepts such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Business Intelligence (BI), Big Data and also the company's already traditional solutions.
 
In addition, there will be support for companies that want to expand Sonda's consultancy to their operations in Latin America, a strategy that began two years ago with the creation of the Center of Excellence in Utilities and which is now being leveraged with the launch of consultancy services . “This expands our ability to meet the demands of this market in other regions, outside Brazil, with the same agility and technical expertise”, concludes Rivaldo.
