The acquisition of Stonebridge by privately held Sierra Digital includes both product and service offerings, according to Senthil Kumar, CEO of Sierra Digital. “We are extremely impressed with the innovations brought to market by the Energy experts at Stonebridge,” Kumar said. “The firm’s deep expertise in Energy operations, business strategy, changement management and process optimization; solution accelerators such as Peloton®Ready; core products like EnerHub^TM, and EnerPub^SM. and service offerings such as Supply Chain Management and SmartSource Managed Services offer excellent ways for customers to transform their business. Combined now with a host of Analytics, Experience Management, X+O Integration, and Workflow Management tools pioneered by Sierra, our two organizations are now uniquely positioned to double the value to customers.”

“Just as the world must develop more sustainable ways of adapting to a changing environment and its ecosystems, technologists must embrace the same seismic shift in the way we approach business,” said James Ivy, CEO of Stonebridge Consulting. “At the heart of the shift, we know that changing customer experience expectations are driving the need for continuous process and technology optimization initiatives across the business lifecycle—in oil and gas, power generation and utilities, and emerging renewables Energy. Together, Stonebridge and Sierra Digital offer unparalleled combined team expertise in the Energy sector. Plus, customers will have a direct pipeline to process and technology improvement solutions endorsed by SAP, Microsoft, and Qualtrics, as these world-class companies are longtime alliance partners of Sierra Digital.”

Kumar, who will serve as CEO of both entities, explained that Sierra Digital’s premier innovation, OhZone^TM, is a cloud-based flexible workflow platform augmented with automation, analytics, and XM capability. “We custom-engineered OhZone to save enterprises time and money by making people work smarter, simpler, more efficient, and more customer-focused,” he continued. “Because OhZone integrates Experience (X) and Operations (O) Data, and seamlessly connects to existing workflow ecosystems, including specialized platforms like EnerHub and Peloton, it offers the enterprise a unified system for listening, innovating, and successfully implementing optimization initiatives in every business discipline.” Current OhZone implementations confirm overall savings across multiple projects of greater than 50%, he said.

Leadership continuity for Stonebridge will be maintained following the acquisition, said Kumar. Adam Hutchinson continues as President, and William (BJ) Cummings leads the Products Division. Amy Moore remains the firm’s lead of Business Development, and Leo Oei heads its Supply Chain Management Services group. Adria Sprigler leads the Business and Technology Practice, and Dawn Guyse heads up the SmartSource Managed Services Practice.

Stonebridge will explore the deep value of today’s announcement on Thursday, February 25, by staging a webinar titled, “Doubling Business Value in Energy.” The webinar will be hosted by Shailendra Kumar, VP of Innovation at SAP, and feature Geoffrey Cann, a leading voice of Digital Transformation in Energy. Senthil Kumar and Adam Hutchinson will also join as panelists. The event will take place at 12pm Central Time.
