Industry context

MDM, PIM and data quality in energy and utilities

We give each party, product, supplier or asset one trusted record, with matching rules and stewards agreed by the business.

Master data work is about matching rules, data ownership and stewardship rather than software alone. We profile your data, agree the rules with the business and set up the workflows people use to keep records correct.

Energy and utility companies run long-lived assets where reliability and safety come first, and their control systems fall under OT security requirements. Field crews, control room operators and asset managers need changes scheduled within approved shutdowns and maintenance seasons, under HSE rules. Arabic and English spellings of the same name, national ID and commercial registration numbers, and UAE and Saudi address formats each need their own matching rules.

After stabilisation we hand over to your teams or keep running the service with you.

Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

What we deliver

Specialists in energy and utilities and platform engineers, with you from design to stable operation.

  • Data profiling

    An assessment of duplicates, gaps and conflicting values in the systems that hold each data domain.

  • Matching and survivorship

    Rules for matching records and choosing the trusted value, agreed with the data owners.

  • Stewardship workflows

    Queues and approvals for data stewards, with quality measures reported to data owners.

  • OT security and sector rules

    We design around OT security requirements such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation and the Dubai Electronic Security Center's standards, or NCA OTCC in Saudi Arabia, with IEC 62443 for control systems, and keep the compliance evidence your regulator and HSE function review.

  • Bilingual matching

    Match rules that handle Arabic and English names, transliteration variants and local identifiers.

  • Distribution to consuming systems

    Trusted records published to ERP, CRM and analytics through agreed interfaces.

What to have in place first

Master data work is ready to start when a business owner will decide the rules and the systems that hold each domain are known.

  • The OT owner of each control system in scope has been named.
  • A business owner for each data domain in scope has agreed to decide matching and quality rules.
  • The systems that create and change records in each domain have been listed.
