Our utilities group brings deep industry knowledge, world class capabilities, innovation and cutting-edge technology to our clients to help them raise their performance to new heights. It's about making difficult decisions in an unpredictable environment where the differences are often subtle. This is especially true today as utilities confront changing regulations, aging infrastructure assets, skills shortages, fuel price volatility and the growing consideration of environmental directions. However, utilities looking to build for the future can also look to a fresh set of business solutions enabled by new digital technologies, sensing devices and software capabilities. At Accenture, we can apply our industry expertise, business process knowledge and systems integration skills to help your organization achieve high performance. The Czech Republic's accession to the EU has resulted in an increase in competition. We have exhaustive knowledge and experience from similar state-of-affairs abroad, and are ready to offer Czech utility companies assistance during this transformation.   We also help create new legislation for the electricity industry, and cooperate with leading companies on defining new energy trading models for the Czech market.
One of the key challenges for utility companies within a competitive environment is cost reduction and efficiency improvement of all activities linked with energy generation/production, transit and distribution. We offer solutions for fixed assets life cycle management, investment management, decision support tools for simulating future impact of decisions, asset operation, and maintenance systems, with a possibility to integrate these systems with GIS. With growing competition and the entrance of new market players, it is necessary to pay extended attention to customer acquisition and retention tools. The firm provides integrated solutions for customer management system like call centers, and increasingly popular eCommerce solutions, which open a new dimension for the electricity industry.  Management's everyday question is how to measure firm performance, and how to compare it with competitors. In this area, we have developed a detailed benchmarking methodology, including an updated and extensive reference database of European and world companies in this sector. Similar to benchmarking are methodologies of continuous performance monitoring, based on a balanced scorecard.
