Our Company

Transformative Solution Partner

At NetworkEDGE, we are more than consultants; we are your strategic partners in navigating the dynamic landscapes of the energy industry. With a commitment to excellence, a global perspective, and a passion for transformative solutions, we stand ready to guide you towards a sustainable and efficient energy future.

We are Thinkers, Fixers and Doers

Partner closely with our clients

This has fostered a deep understanding of the utility culture and environment

Work hard to earn and keep your trust

Mutual reliance, which is the key to efficient and effective teamwork, develops over time as a function of commitment and accountability.

Execute rather than just advise

Having assembled an ‘A Team’ with local and global experience enables us to be the thinkers, doers and fixers you need. Our ability to make strategy an operational reality is a point of pride.

Take accountability for results

Our tried-and-tested business, technical architecture and program management frameworks are the tools not just to do the work but to get the job done.

Are IT savvy but business driven

We are always looking to maximize the opportunities and bring our entrepreneurial sensibilities to every assignment.

Align our success with your success

Efforts are vectors; they are only fully additive when both sides drive in the same direction.

Value and build relationships

Our business was formed on a foundation of long-term relationships, and we continue to build on that base of mutual trust and respect with our clients, vendors, partners and advisors.

Share all that we’ve learned

Knowledge transfer is important to us. We help build capability in your organisation and share proven methodologies, tools and accelerators.

Are deeply invested in the industry

Taking the time to round out our deep experience with utility industry and technology insight through ongoing research and emerging trends keeps us — and our clients — at the leading edge.
