Allentown, Pa.-based PPL Corp. is updating how it manages technology spending to improve customer service and support the delivery of safe, reliable, affordable, sustainable energy.<\/p>\n
PPL Corp., an energy company providing electricity and natural gas to more than 3.6 million customers, said it will operate a new technology financial management platform from Accenture that\u2019s powered by Apptio\u2019s solutions to automate reporting and provide real-time financial data.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur recent work with Accenture is another step in our strategy to create the technology-enabled utilities of the future,\u201d Dean Del Vecchio, executive vice president of technology and innovation for PPL, said Nov. 11. \u201cWe\u2019re using Apptio solutions to unlock deeper insights into our technology investments as we work to drive innovation, modernize the grid, and deliver greater value to our customers and employees.\u201d<\/p>\n
The collaboration, according to PPL, comes during its transition from aging legacy systems to modern, flexible, and scalable solutions that support its utility-of-the-future strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This includes shifting to cloud-based infrastructure, expanding the use of AI, automation, and advanced analytics, and improving integrating systems to support real-time decisionmaking, said PPL.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAccenture is helping PPL reinvent its technology strategy and capabilities as the company seeks to drive greater value for the customers and community it serves,\u201d said Keith Boone, technology strategy and advisory Americas lead at Accenture.<\/p>\n
