As a regionally anchored energy supplier, Stadtwerke Kiel, part of the MVV Energie Group, and its almost 1,000 employees supply electricity, water, gas and district heating to the capital of Schleswig-Holstein and the surrounding region.
Starting point
As for many other companies, the technical requirements for modern digital working have been a challenge. In particular, there was a need for consolidating the heterogeneous tool landscape in the area of collaboration as well as Microsoft products.
Approach
With the implementation of the modern workplace solution Kiel CONNECT (CoffeeNet 365), the aim was to create the basis and drivers for cultural change at Stadtwerke Kiel as part of the digitalization process. Important requirements for this were the establishment of a new level of collaboration based on the new platform and in combination with high usability as well as low time-to-market for the new technologies.
Results
At Stadtwerke Kiel AG, communication and collaboration were significantly improved. Especially in daily work, Kiel CONNECT offers considerable added value to the employees, which is also supported by the high acceptance. With the new working environment, Stadtwerke Kiel AG has implemented an important part of its digitization strategy and can now build on this to specifically digitize further business processes.
