Utopus is committed to offer solutions that combine superior analytical power with great customer experience. By enabling everyone from the on-site technician to the CEO with the power of large-scale data and machine learning at his fingertips, Utopus is quickly becoming a preferred partner in the sustainable energy sector. As Utopus’ customer experience partner, we have worked closely together to solve the challenge of making the complex simple, which is the key to creating powerful analytical solutions that users can easily pick up and start using. Bridging this gap unlocks a massive potential for the renewable energy sector, for Utopus and for the future of our planet. Solution The partnership with Utopus has meant a marriage of the fields of data science and user interface design. With seemingly contradictory demands for complexity and simplicity in every element of the solution, we established a set of principles to provide a guiding star for the experience, we wanted to offer the users as well as for the design we wanted them to see: Credibility If we want real people to change their behavior based on data, those data must be credible, and users must see us as trustworthy and transparent. Hiding complexity Some analytics needs require functionality that can answer very complex questions but even in those cases, we want to provide value from the very first interaction. Delightful We always strive to give users a reason to fall in love. Even the smallest details hold this potential. For example, we added small motion design delights that also support the user experience. Designed to scale seamlessly from large operation center monitors to a mobile device in the hand of a technician working 100 meters above ground, the solutions move big data out of the datacenter and into the hands of real people, who are facing important decisions every day. Therefore, a key part of the solutions was to make them easily obtainable and fairly simple to use despite of the complexity of the data. In the first year of the collaboration, we have helped bring to market an entire suite of products, called Scipher, that redefine how world-leading analytics and great customer experience to go hand-in-hand. Utopus now offers a user-friendly and visually appealing platform which allows people anywhere to understand, forecast and optimize day-to-day green energy production. The solutions are already monitoring tens of thousands of wind turbines and solar panels - generating insights from big data on a massive scale. Result The Scipher product suite has been launched gradually over the course of 12 months, but the common denominator for all releases was an impressive customer reception. On average, the user base for each product is growing with more than 10% month-over-month. More importantly, initial user satisfaction surveys show that the intuitive interface is striking the right nerve with users. The average satisfaction rate is 95% and the products have an average Net Promoter Score of 47, indicating a very high degree of loyalty. The relaunched product suite is only the beginning for Utopus. With 45% of electricity industry profits at stake from digital transformation over the next decade, Utopus’ product suite holds an enormous financial potential. Even more importantly, the products have a real chance of making an impact in the endeavor to ensure a more sustainable energy supply.
