The Datahub GEN project was developed to accelerate the digital transformation of EDP’s conventional generation business in Portugal and Spain. The project empowers the organization with a robust, governed, and intelligent data ecosystem. It is part of a broader vision of modernization and operational efficiency that recognizes data as a strategic asset and driver of innovation.
The challenge
EDP faced the challenge of modernizing its operations while fostering a data-driven culture. Disparate data sources, limited governance, and the need for intelligent asset management highlighted the urgency for a unified, strategic approach to data.
Together with CGI, we have successfully laid the foundations for a culture that is truly data-driven, and this will enable us to continuously innovate in the fields of analytics and AI.
The solution
The Datahub GEN project was launched to create a robust, governed, and intelligent data ecosystem that supports informed decision-making to increase operational efficiency. With CGI as a key partner, the initiative has been developed under Agile Managed Services, leveraging three strategic pillars:
- Data governance
-
Implementation of data governance, using EDP’s governance tool, with a clear governance structure, documented, certified data, and defined ownership.
- Transversal data availability
-
Broad access to reliable data across domains, supported by a modern infrastructure
- Business visibility
-
Development of intelligent, actionable applications and dashboards based on real needs (Use Cases)
A dedicated Change Management stream ensured organizational alignment, supported by strong communication, documentation, and comprehensive training initiatives.
Key benefits
Stronger decision-making: A Single Source of Truth (SSOT) empowers teams with consistent, secure, and accessible data.
Promote a data-driven intelligent asset management strategy for decision-making, unlocking efficiencies and developing solutions based on analytics and AI.
Cultural shift: Embedding a data-centric mindset across teams through targeted engagement and education.
Datahub GEN and Data governance practices are now a reality and the basis for future AI and analytics projects at EDP.
