Everis has scored a contract with the UK’s largest gas distribution network, Cadent Gas, to provide it with data quality tools from Informatica.
The agreement will enhance Cadent Gas’s asset data quality and provide insights into its business operations.
Cadent Gas currently manages enormous volumes of data, so the initial focus of this project will be to look at asset data to improve its quality and enhance the insights generated.
The improved quality of asset data and insights will help Cadent Gas to better manage its operations, reduce costs, and improve decision-making processes. These improved data management capabilities will also allow it to better monitor risks, including environmental challenges associated with operating a gas distribution network.
Eduardo Fernandez, Head of Gas, Power & Water at NTT DATA UK&I, said that Cadent Gas served 11 million homes and businesses, making it the largest gas distributor in the UK. Energy data management is a core area where OFGEM has asked energy licence holders to increase digitalisation and investment, and the partnership with Cadent Gas will help it to meet the regulator’s aims.
“By delivering quality improvements to asset data, energy suppliers can drive better management of the gas network and positively contribute to their Journey to Zero targets in the UK.”
Cadent Gas Head of Data Management and Data Science Marta Czerep said: “We are very pleased to be working with NTT DATA on the modernisation of the outfit’s data.
“Cadent wishes to improve its data capabilities and modernise our business to support the wider Net Zero aspiration. We are looking forward to working with NTT DATA and benefitting from its capabilities to future-proof our business with the latest technology for data management.”
