Hitachi Energy is combining its expertise in managing critical infrastructure with Microsoft’s artificial intelligence (AI) and data capabilities to accelerate the digital transformation of key infrastructure, revolutionising the management and maintenance of essential assets. Hitachi Energy is reinventing its Ellipse Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) with Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Microsoft Foundry – into a unified solution to manage data, analytics, and business operations. “Hitachi Energy has decades of experience building and operating the infrastructure that keeps modern life running,” said Massimo Danieli, executive vice president and managing director of business unit grid automation at Hitachi Energy. The Hitachi Energy solution will be delivered through the company’s ecosystem of system integrators, including Hitachi Solutions, a global systems integrator within the Hitachi Group, as the foundational advisor and partner to implementation design. “Hitachi Solutions is proud to support this strategic reinvention and the tremendous impact it can have to drive new efficiencies into critical OT applications,” said Soichiro Ohara, chairperson and CEO, Hitachi Solutions America.
