1:50 PM Case Study: EnergyRE’s AI Journey: Governance, Scaling, Strategy and New Opportunities

EnergyRE is leveraging AI across the enterprise to drive operational efficiency, while placing strategic alignment and responsible governance at the core of its approach. In this session, Taylor will share key milestones, lessons learned, and the future opportunities that lie ahead.

  • Gain an update on the implementation journey of deploying EnergyRE’s generalized AI platform tools across the enterprise from initial pilot
  • Explore the cruciality of EnergyRE’s AI policy and enterprise-wide training program as part of their enterprise deployment. Understand how clear usage guidelines and embedded platform controls helped build user confidence and prevent data leakage, while navigating the ongoing challenge of evolving legal and ethical grey areas
  • Operating in a greenfield, SaaS-native environment, EnergyRE opted to buy rather than build its AI tools. Learn how this accelerated deployment and simplified integration, while recognizing common challenges many operators face when constrained by legacy infrastructure or limited internal development capacity.
  • Review the journey of using traditional RPA to streamline tasks like invoice processing to then move to broader automation. With UiPath’s support for agentic automation and multi-model orchestration, more dynamic, goal-based workflows can be achieved however we’ll explore the challenges of identifying scalable use cases
  • Gain insight into EnergyRe’s joint venture strategy to develop and externalize proprietary automation tools with commercial potential. This includes leveraging partnerships with agentic automation specialists to co-develop scalable products for the broader energy sector
