Innovation is essential for Naturgy and other energy companies.

The application allows management from any device, mobile or tablets, and has role-based security mechanisms to ensure access to sensitive information from different businesses or verticals.”Origen makes it possible to standardize and automate the activities for the control, development, and monitoring of the different technological observatories. This includes the generation and distribution of technology reports to management and specific departments.Origen allows users to automatically collect and analyze present trends and state of the art technology in energy markets. Naturgy’s teams supervise and manage this information collaboratively, enriching it, classifying it and aligning it with the organization’s strategic objectives. In addition, it allows observatories to create and distribute newsletters to management automatically in several languages, including the most relevant news.“We are proud to provide the core technology to harness and manage Naturgy’s innovations,” said Paul Maguire, SVP of EMEA at Appian. “Appian’s low-code development platform offers Naturgy the agility, flexibility, and security for them to invent, innovate, and go-to-market faster.
