Developing a digital strategy for a utility company

Unlocking a customer-centric sales process

Opportunity/Issue

The B2C and B2B sales department of a leading German utility company was looking for a scalable digital strategy to drive business growth.

Our client was facing a fragmented IT landscape with many legacy systems and data silos across different business departments. Therefore, the application landscape was missing a 360-customer view and the flexibility to react quickly to continuously changing market environment and to meet increasingly high customer expectations.

Outcome/Result

In 12 weeks, we developed a digital strategy and defined a future-proof IT and data architecture for B2C and B2B Sales.

  • Design of ideal journeys for customers and internal users including click-dummies
  • Definition of >200 business requirements and >80 IT capabilities in close collaboration with the marketing and sales teams
