Challenge	Engie, a leading European energy company, is on a mission to achieve carbon neutrality for its customers and operations. The company, operating across five continents and 70 countries, is facing the challenge of efficiently managing and utilizing vast amounts of data related to energy generation and distribution, pricing, weather, and customers. The data is critical for driving efficient renewable energy production. However, the data was siloed within separate business divisions, making it difficult to share and use effectively for strategic decision-making. Furthermore, the company was undergoing a major business transformation, changing from 25 country/regional operations to four enterprise-wide divisions. This transformation required a more agile and resilient approach to data management, especially in the face of global events like the climate crisis, war in Ukraine, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
