Increasing complexity means customers want a more consultative and integrated approach

Low domain expertise Consultative approach Integrated solutions

– Energy management and associated IOT – Provide guidance on full spectrum of relevant – End-to-end approach
solutions not a core skill for many prosumers challenges and solutions – One-stop shop
“From site operations to boardroom reporting”
– “as a Service”

“The market lacks an integrator… someone could drop off

all the parts to build a Ferrari in my driveway… and I would
only build a go-kart1”
