Since 2004, Akhela has been managing the ICT services of Saras Group, a leading operator in the Oil & Energy sector.
In particular, the experience gained as a provider of services to the Saras refinery in Sarroch, Sardinia--one of the six supersites of Western Europe according to Wood Mackenzie--has enabled Akhela to build up a body of specialist know-how, procedures, methods, expertise and application solutions for this sector.
The companies operating in this sector face radical changes, that will significantly impact on their operational processes. Consolidation, continuity of business operations, highly reliable services, data and information protection services, services for the integrated management of operational risk, are just a few aspects that are proving decisive in this sector.
Others include compliance with governance and sector-specific regulations, and issues relating to the environment, occupational heath and safety, and integration and cooperation within the supply chain.
Akhela helps companies in this sector to effectively address these problems using innovative technologies.
