The energy industry as we know it is being disrupted. Its future is being shaped by a new world of rivalries. This shift is presenting both sizeable challenges and unprecedented opportunities for today’s energy businesses.

But the race is only accelerating. Leaders are separating from laggards by their ability to harness transformational technologies like AI and machine learning. They have become a competitive edge for energy businesses that are quick to adopt them.

At CERAWeek 2019, Uptake will be discussing and demonstrating how the energy industry is being reshaped, reimagined and recoded with digital technology. Here’s a message from Uptake’s president, Ganesh Bell, on why he’s looking forward to this year’s big event:

COME LEARN HOW THE ENERGY MARKET IS TRANSFORMING, AND HOW NEW CHAMPIONS WILL PREVAIL

By its very nature, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will upend established companies. At the same time, however, it will create an environment for new champions to stand out and thrive.

As other industries have already proven, digital transformation is fast-evolving. Not only that — it is accelerating beyond businesses’ ability to catch up.

In the energy sector specifically, the companies that win will be the ones that learn the most from data and evolve. Using technologies like AI and machine learning, they will power a new future for the industry.

This year at CERAWeek, Uptake invites you to see how industrial AI software can deliver fast financial outcomes that impact your business. This includes lowering your O&M costs, improving your asset reliability, and surfacing new learnings and efficiencies from your operational data.

Will you be there? Sign up here to meet with Uptake’s energy experts on site at the event in Houston. Uptake is a proud partner of CERAWeek 2019. Be sure to check out our informative panels and sessions throughout the duration of the week:
