A few years ago, information technology was not considered important to the energy industry. That has changed for the most advanced companies in the field and is rapidly changing for others. Regulatory agencies, like the California Public Utilities Commission are providing direct leadership in this new environment, forcing the industry to reexamine all aspects of its business. Further, the industry, like other modern industries, is faced with productivity challenges and the need to maximize the talents and abilities of its labor force. Intergy is a recognized leader in providing the energy industry with reliable, compatible and user-friendly IT solutions. We have created software applications for the CPUC as well as the investor-owned utilities. InfoWorld magazine named one of our applications among their top 100 projects for 2004. Our proprietary database applications and our domain expertise mark our leadership in IT services. Besides our strength in the energy field, we offer software solutions, support and consulting for all phases of the information technology industry. Since the IT business is extremely competitive and for the most part, dominated by large bureaucratic companies that force off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all applications on users, we have specialized in customized, flexible and user-friendly IT solutions. Since we are global in our IT scope, we can maximize immediate, cost-effective advances in technology and talent.
About our firm – Intergy's management team includes a former executive of a major energy utility, a former CEO of a software/ IT company, and a former community college administrator. Other members include highly skilled energy engineers, environmental specialists, expert programmers, and dedicated support staff. We are committed to client satisfaction, regulatory compliance and resource sustainability.
"Certainly one of the key strengths of Intergy has been their capability to team with the city in utilizing local partnerships and networks to increase the awareness about energy efficiency and the resources that are available to our residents and businesses."
Mark Lewis,
City Manager,
City of Stockton.
