Energy & utilities

The technology behind New Zealand's energy infrastructure should be as reliable as the infrastructure itself - designed to last, built to adapt, and grounded in long-term stability. We build for that reality, backing you with technology that is powerful by design.

Backed by open source

For nearly 30 years we've helped organisations navigate the tension between legacy infrastructure, regulatory demands, and the communities depending on both. We work with you to design solutions shaped around your operational reality - connecting older systems to modern platforms, designed to support your compliance obligations, and solutions to keep field teams running even where connectivity isn't guaranteed. All without disrupting what's already working.

The result is technology infrastructure built for the long haul: resilient under pressure, adaptable as your network grows or new technology is introduced, and responsive when your communities need it most.

"The system is world-class. It means we are monitoring New Zealand’s legacy dam infrastructure with the best tools possible, and it puts us in a unique position internationally to offer that service more widely." - Dan Foster, General Manager, DSI.

We partnered with Catalyst for the requirements, design, and scope to completely rebuild www.oriongroup.co.nz. Our time frames for delivery were tight, and from the outset, Catalyst set up a strong project team to meet this timeline and deliver.
