125 as reduced emissions and better regulatory compliance. AVEVA works with clients all over the world to help drive sustainability gains within a connected ecosystem. By leveraging software-as-a-service capabilities through our industrial intelligence platform, CONNECT, customers can connect to a hybrid cloud experience purpose-built for industries. They can access industrial information in context, make decisions based on real-time intelligence, and visualise data in one place. They can share relevant information across teams, tap into a network of consumers, producers partners and vendors, and build or extend their ecosystem to bolster their investments. With CONNECT, companies can easily explore AI and predictive analytics, monitor remote assets and increase sustainability. Together, AVEVA and Microsoft are helping thousands of customers move towards their sustainability goals using our joint engineering and operations expertise. By enabling enterprises to digitally transform their businesses, our solutions reveal quantifiable metrics that allow companies to understand the impacts of their actions and progress towards their sustainability goals. For example, using CONNECT powered by Microsoft Azure, US energy company Dominion Energy was able to gather and share data about its energy sources and power flows in a unified, real-time, cloud interface with customers, helping them to comply with their net-zero commitments. Using trackable sustainability data, Dominion’s customers were able to provide proof of their low-carbon energy supplies to investors and ESG auditors, revealing a new energy source for Dominion. Looking ahead, AVEVA, as a leader in industrial intelligence, is working on an industrial AI assistant based upon Microsoft Azure Open AI. It also plans to leverage data analytics solution Microsoft Fabric and generative AI assistant Microsoft Copilot to further strengthen both companies’ data integration platforms to better prepare customers to incorporate AI in key global industries across the world. This will make operational data more intuitive, predictable and manageable. Within the connected ecosystem, operators, partners, developers and their customers are empowered to drive change through multiple industries, while significantly cutting energy consumption and emissions. With the advent of industry-primed technologies, operations can be empowered to drive sustainability gains for all stakeholders on a continuous basis. The sum becomes more than its parts. It’s no overstatement to say that the efficiency gains delivered by the connected ecosystem will be the foundation of sustainable industries.
