In today’s rapidly evolving energy and commodities landscape, organizations face mounting regulatory scrutiny, complex reporting requirements, and the operational challenges of legacy systems. As the sector navigates volatile markets and increasing demands for transparency, the imperative to modernize compliance and reporting processes has never been greater. At Publicis Sapient, we draw on proven digital transformation strategies—honed in the public sector—to help energy and commodities companies streamline compliance, automate workflows, and unlock real-time analytics for oversight and growth.
Energy and commodities organizations operate in a high-stakes environment where regulatory mandates are stringent and the cost of non-compliance is significant. Much like public sector regulators, these companies often contend with:
These challenges mirror those faced by public sector agencies, such as building and construction regulators, who must manage high volumes of compliance submissions, inspections, and ongoing oversight. The lessons learned from public sector modernization are directly applicable to the energy and commodities sector.
A recent transformation for a major public sector regulator provides a compelling blueprint. The agency, responsible for overseeing gas and electrical work, struggled with fragmented submission methods, multiple portals, and a reliance on paper-based forms. Publicis Sapient implemented a modern, fit-for-purpose regulatory compliance system using Salesforce, delivering:
The result was a dramatic improvement in user experience, operational efficiency, and the regulator’s capacity for data-driven decision-making. These same principles can be adapted to the unique needs of energy and commodities organizations.
