The digitalization of the energy industry is advancing rapidly, and smart metering is at the heart of it. The constant challenge is to ensure that operations are not only secure and flexible, but also reliable and resource efficient. The motto is thereby: after the rollout is before the rollout. A key component in meeting these requirements — and one that more and more energy utilities are opting for — is optimizing the IT infrastructure by switching from an on-prem to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud-based solution. Moving to a SaaS solution is not just about transitioning from on-premises systems, it's about embracing a comprehensive model that enables energy utilities to leverage new capabilities and maximize the benefits of smart metering solutions and the data they collect. SaaS adoption across EMEA is accelerating, with the market projected to reach $102.84 billion by 2025 and growing at an annual rate of 19.17%[1]. Similarly, 54% of companies in EMEA have already adopted cloud solutions in most parts of their business[2]. In the utilities sector, 75.3% of enterprises are highly dependent on cloud services[3]. However, the shortage of cloud specialists is a significant challenge, making it crucial for organizations to invest in training and strategic hiring.
