Energy giant enhances compliance across the enterprise with document transformation

Company background

One of the largest energy providers in the United States serve millions of customers with electricity and natural gas, always aiming for sustainability and innovation. Their operations are extensive, covering everything from power generation to transmission and distribution across multiple states. Given their prominent role, the company must comply with strict regulations while ensuring their operations are smooth and efficient.

Challenges and risks of manual document processing

The company was struggling with the manual management and processing of a wide variety of documents, including complex CAD files, within their existing document management system. This manual approach was not only slow and labor-intensive but also error-prone, leading to several significant risks:

1. Regulatory Compliance Issues: Manual processes made it hard to maintain standardized regulatory reporting and data retention, risking regulatory penalties and damaging stakeholder trust.
2. Operational Inefficiencies: The manual work consumed a lot of time and resources, slowing down internal operations and increasing costs.
3. High Error Rates: Handling documents manually increased the chances of mistakes, which could result in incorrect data being reported and potential safety issues.
4. Stakeholder Dissatisfaction: Inefficient document management affected interactions with external stakeholders and regulatory bodies, potentially harming the company’s reputation and relationships.
