According to the company's CEO, to solve the trilemma of environmental sustainability, energy security and energy accessibility, the use of digital transformation in the sector is necessary
Considered one of the most strategic sectors for Brazil's growth, the energy market has shown significant growth in recent years, mainly with the rise of renewable energies. According to Absolar (Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy), the solar energy market brought more than R 1TP4Q125.3 billion in investments to Brazil from 2012 to 2022. In addition, the sector generated 750.2 thousand jobs and the expectation is to reach 1 million in 2023.
With the growth of the sector, the digital transformation needs to be aligned with the development and technological innovations of the energy market. In this sense, SoftExpert is a leader in digital transformation and management for companies of different segments and sizes, such as energy. Companies in the energy and utilities sector face global challenges to position themselves as corporations focused on reducing costs, increasing efficiency and being technologically advanced.
Among the challenges are: operating an efficient and simplified business, reducing costs and complying with increasingly strict and complex national and international rules and regulations. Along these lines, SoftExpert's platform reduces the cost of regulatory compliance and helps companies increase success, productivity, reduce risks and adhere to various standards, such as ISO 9000, ISO 14000 and ISO 50001 (Energy Management Systems ).

“In the energy sector, much is said about the trilemma of environmental sustainability, energy security and accessibility to reliable energy in a post-pandemic context, energy transition, zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, UN SDGs, among others. In this sense, digital transformation strategies become vital to solve the trilemma issue”, analyzes Hermínio Gonçalves, CEO of SoftExpert Brasil. Industry 4.0 digital technologies have the potential to increase productivity, predict and prevent waste of energy, raw materials and resources in organizations. In addition, they allow accelerating the results of the SDGs, reducing operating costs and offering the possibility of strategic use of data not only by the organization, but throughout the value chain, opening the doors to the creation of new business models.
Thus, SoftExpert's solution allows energy and public utility companies to map, analyze and continuously improve the efficiency of operations, integrating, in a single platform, different management structures. With that in mind, the CEO leveraged some of the benefits of digital transformation in the sector:
- Real-time access to asset status;
- Traceability on asset history;
- Control of frequency and expiration of maintenance;
- Compliance variance in performance improvement processes;
- Electronic approval system for requests and executions;
- Automation of the corporate risk management process;
- Application of risk management in several areas (environmental, health and safety, regulations, information security, projects, etc.);
- Process mapping and automation;
- Increased efficiency with work orders and routing optimization.
“Companies in the oil, gas and energy sector need to adapt their organizational cultures and embrace digital transformation with the urgency that the moment demands, as the global energy industry is committed to building a power generation system that is equally safe, sustainable and affordable”, concludes the spokesperson.
