CHICAGO, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Uptake, a leader in industrial intelligence, announced today that it has been named a finalist for the 2022 Microsoft Energy & Sustainability Partner of the Year Award. Microsoft selected the company among a global field of top partners for demonstrating excellence in the development and implementation of customer solutions. Uptake Fusion was recognized for its ability to unlock industrial data by moving and normalizing enterprise datastreams in Microsoft Azure for real-time decisions.

"We're honored to be recognized as a finalist for this award. Uptake's strategic relationship with Microsoft is a testament to the value of enabling energy companies to generate business value and enterprise reporting from their data," said Kayne Grau, CEO, Uptake. "We look forward to continuing to advance digital transformation and sustainability initiatives with the Microsoft tools our customers are using each day."

Uptake Fusion enables asset-intensive operations, including energy and utilities, to prepare data in the cloud for analytics. By connecting to underlying operational technology (OT) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and then integrating with datasets like SAP, IBM, and Oracle, Uptake Fusion prepares contextualized industrial data for authorized first- and third-party consumers.

Energy companies like Chevron and Capital Power are using Uptake Fusion to automate the integration of data in their Microsoft Azure environment. Once data is available in their own or Uptake's Azure cloud, data consumers can unlock real-time visibility and decision support. Industrial intelligence use cases like AI/ML, digital twins, connected worker applications, and sustainability reporting are possible at scale, including through Microsoft tools like Power BI, Uptake Radar, and preferred third-party applications.
