Smart Energy

The business landscape for energy suppliers and public utilities is undergoing radical changes. Revenues in the core business keep dropping, customer loyalty is on the decline, and customer behavior is subject to dynamic change. Energy suppliers need to reinvent themselves; they need to redefine their market position, develop innovative solutions to open up new revenue streams, and adopt the active management of customer relations as one of their core competencies.

Smart industry

Smart Industry – called Industrie 4.0 in Germany – takes automation in manufacturing to the next level. This movement offers great potential for increased productivity on shop floors – but really excels when unfolding new business opportunities built on digitization and networked machines or devices.

Digital Media

In the digital world, markets and technologies are developing at a breakneck pace, and the way media content is consumed changes dramatically in very short time spans. For instance, the decline in the daily consumption of traditional print media has toned down slightly but it still continues. At the same time, the mobile use of digital media continues its relentless growth, driving changes in content format and presentation. Because of these and many other requirements and developments on the customer side and at advertising companies, the publishing world faces ever-changing challenges.
