Ch 1: INTRODUCTION
Todays time most of the IT companies are working for oil and gas, power, and utility sector.
In this competition time it is backbone for every companys growth. Every company using it
services like software related work and computerized their organization. Oil and gas, power and
utility sector contribute a major part in overall profit of a it services provider company.
This is related to find the contribution of oil and gas sector in overall profit of it companies and

Suggestion

Accentures collaboration with energy sector clients in year 2006 and 2005 is less than 2004.
They can increase their profit with making more clients from energy sector and help them in
different areas. There are many other clients who want to implement technologies, target them
and enter to the new market.
So more and more collaboration with energy companies and also search the new market
increase the profit.
Energy and utility sector is wide sector which wants specific services to improve the profit. For
energy sector companies there are several services like:

Database management system.

Storage technology
Simulation Software
Pipeline controlling using SCADA software
Erp implementation etc

17

Conclusion
This report shows the contribution of energy sector in overall growth of IT consulting
companies. It also shows what the help taken by the energy sector companies and in which
area. Todays time the competition is high in energy sector companies and the cost involve is
also high so the company want best more technological development to improve their
business. The model will make a change roadmap for the consulting arms of these company
energy verticals to optimize their operations in conjunction with the changing business and
technological environment over the years. This model also shows the technological
development in aviation and transportation sector and revenue comes from that sector.
