Building a Big Data Platform for a FTSE 250, £2.6 Billion Market Cap Renewable Energies Fund
When a global investment manager client sought to enhance their renewable energy data management, they needed a powerful, scalable solution to deliver precise reporting to investors. That’s where we stepped in. Leveraging our technical expertise, we were tasked with reapproaching their data platform strategy by architecting and building a brand new cloud platform, enabling faster and more efficient reporting.
“At The Summit, we prioritise understanding our clients’ unique challenges and tailoring our approach to offer the optimal solution for each project. We saw an opportunity to create a future-proofed renewable energy cloud platform that would not only resolve their issues but also pave the way for massive future growth.” — Ben Symonds, The Summit
Sustainability is central to our ethos at The Summit, and we firmly believe that green business is good business. Working closely with their technology teams, we identified significant pain points in the legacy system and collaborated to rebuild a modern, fit-for-purpose platform from scratch. This new platform, integrated with advanced tech stacks, ensures readiness for future market challenges, all while aligning with our environmental values.
“The Summit brought solutions to the table very quickly. They came up with innovative ideas that nobody else had considered. I can say they unlocked value for us straight away.” Director & Head of Information
This collaboration was about more than just delivering a solution; it aimed to reshape and transform how the company viewed and utilised technology across their operations.
“Ben and his team at The Summit have brilliant ideas. They’re leading the charge on new technology stacks and can present a solid business case for their necessity. What I appreciate is that they continue proposing ideas and innovative solutions. The diversity of thought they bring has been quite useful here.” Programme Manager
As the project advanced, we introduced a series of tech solutions to enable faster, more efficient reporting and enhance productivity. We built a bespoke app and sophisticated reporting tools, all of which were embraced by the team.
“There have been a considerable amount of wins for us with The Summit; building out the platform, completing the proof of concept, and handing over to my team. Our stakeholders now have a different view of what technology can do for them, and they’re asking for even more because they know what the platform is capable of.” Programme Manager
The new technology allowed us to set new benchmarks for the renewable energy cloud platform, demonstrating our commitment to innovation and adaptability. The system has been seamlessly integrated and is delivering clear benefits.
“There’s real value that we’re adding as a result of the partnership with The Summit.” Programme Manager
To us, this project highlights the potential when technology, expertise, and collaboration come together. With the right partners, even the most complex projects can find innovative solutions, driving investment in renewable energy technology that benefits both businesses and the planet.
“The Summit have an edge that other consultants don’t.” Portfolio Director & Head of Information
It’s easy to settle into the mindset of “it’s always been done this way.” But real progress comes from bold steps. Ambitious goals, combined with the right strategy and deep expertise, can redefine what’s possible. That’s where The Summit operates.
