WINDSOR, Conn. – Today TRC Companies (“TRC”) announced a go-to-market partnership with Greenbird Integration Technology, a leading integration technology provider based in Norway. Greenbird’s Utilihive platform enables utilities to accelerate their digital transformation and grid modernization efforts. The partnership between the two innovative companies will reduce timelines for system integration and data-driven services for global utilities and energy providers.
Utilities often deal with disconnected, legacy IT and OT systems which lead to operational challenges from a lack of real-time data and optimized processes. Greenbird’s cloud-native big data integration platform, Utilihive, simplifies the integration of systems, applications, devices (smart meters, sensors IoT devices), data and clouds. The technology is purpose-built for multi-utilities of all sizes, using accelerators and out-of-the-box solutions to streamline integration projects with both new and legacy systems commonly used by the sector.
“North American utilities are rapidly evolving and investing to accelerate innovation and modernize the energy grid,” said Craig Cavanaugh, President of TRC’s Digital Solutions business. “The TRC-Greenbird partnership combines the deep industry and client knowledge of TRC’s technology experts with Greenbird’s leading-edge integration platform. This combination will bring a unified and localized experience to our utility clients, helping them simplify integration efforts and speed up time to value.”
“With the increased volume and variety of data available across the utility enterprise and at the grid edge, it is essential to have a modern approach to system architecture,” says Thorsten Heller, CEO at Greenbird Integration Technology. “Utilihive addresses this need, allowing for faster deployment and development of smart grid use cases. By joining forces with TRC’s Digital experts, we can better help utilities improve their operations, reduce costs, optimize investment, meet regulatory requirements, and transform at pace.”

Reasons for IT/OT Modernization
août 1, 2021
Opposites attract, and information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) are no exception. At one end of the digital grid sits IT as a business application, while OT exists at the other end of the digital grid as an asset-oriented application. For decades, IT and OT have been operating separately and are often physically isolated.
