Digitalisation: solutions that accelerate transformation

Technological and digital innovation: why it is important for Eni

Innovation has always characterised Eni’s activities and key words such as “research”, “development” and “technology” are embedded in our DNA. Eni has grown and developed also thanks to a strong focus and investment in these areas, which today are at the centre of the strategy and of the energy transition path the company is following.

The Technology, R&D & Digital Business Group is charged with fostering innovation by optimising established technologies and developing breakthrough ones that have the potential to radically transform the energy market of the future.

Technological and digital innovation is an essential lever to create value and transform our business to rapidly scale our technological solutions to industrial levels.

Today, digital innovation permeates all of our company and plays a decisive role in our transformation process. It enables and at the same time amplifies the opportunities provided by research and technology to achieve the Net Zero target by 2050.

In particular, the Digital & Information Technology unit stands alongside business to achieve strategic objectives, with a transversal and integrated approach, from the promotion of innovation and the introduction of new digital  solutions to their industrialisation, with a strong focus on aspects of infrastructure resilience, operational excellence and security.

The key elements of Eni's digital transformation

Digitalisation at Eni has a long history and today it extends to all business areas and processes with innovative solutions enabled by the use of:

Eni's approach to digital transformation

The context of digital innovation is by its nature extensive, complex, fast and global.

Eni adopts an integrated approach designed to harmonise all phases and components of innovation.

Through partnerships with leading market observatories and participation in technology hubs and innovation ecosystems, we closely follow the evolution of technologies and of the market. Using a structured methodology that assesses the maturity and impact of emerging technologies in our context, we select those best suited for subsequent prototyping and large-scale implementation.

To guarantee and expand our digital skills, we have established Digital Competence Centers (DCCs), centres of excellence that oversee the adoption of digital and emerging technologies and promote widespread digital awareness inside and outside the company.

Our main competence centres specialise in cloud, data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and supercomputing. They also play a central role in the adoption of new tools and methodologies, such as agile, design thinking and DevOps that support product teams and also involve the business.

Within this framework, the Enterprise Architecture competence centre provides centralised management of the evolution of technologies, architectures and platforms globally, thus promoting the spread of our digital strategy across the company.

Eni's digital transformation is based on four pillars:

Data

A true business asset, it is critical for guiding decisions, gaining insights and achieving strategic goals. For us, being data driven means optimising the collection of data from multiple sources, such as customer interactions, market trends, internal processes and external sources.

Using advanced technologies and analytical tools, we can transform this raw data into meaningful insights, apply advanced analytical models and formulate concrete strategies.

To implement this approach, we have built a robust data infrastructure, a structured data platform and qualified skills, fostering a culture that enhances our ability to make data-driven decisions.

Governance, privacy and security are essential for a responsible management of data

Digital technology leveraging computing power, data, artificial intelligence and the expertise of our people is accelerating transformation along three main lines: it makes our business increasingly efficient, accelerating the development of new areas of activity and helps us provide superior services to our customers.

Supercomputer, at the center of our digital transformation strategy

Our digitalisation strategy is supported by the continuous technological evolution of our applications and of our Green Data Center, which ensures reliability to meet the company's computing needs and to operate along the entire value chain.

The role of digital in information security

We are aware of the impact of the ever-increasing pervasiveness of digital technology and therefore integrate cybersecurity into the development and implementation processes of all our products and services, in line with a security-by-design model. In addition, we are placing increasing attention on the implementation of digital services and technologies to minimise their environmental impact and promote conscientious practices within the company.
