World Kinect modernized its IT infrastructure by migrating critical applications to AWS, achieving a 20% performance improvement and a 50% reduction in mean time to restore (MTTR). This transformation also boosted software deployments significantly and provided extensive AWS training for 85% of the IT workforce, enhancing productivity and career growth.

In the quest to support renewable energy developers and investors, the U.S. government offers a variety of investment tax credits (ITC) and production tax credits (PTC), collectively known as tax credits (TCs). These credits are designed to reduce tax liability, but their value can be limited in certain circumstances. If there is no taxable income, the credit remains unused, neither impacting cash flow nor providing value to the investor.

The nature of World Kinect’s global energy business — and the number of government organizations involved — means the baseline of data security is pretty high. Any business working globally has to contend with a lot of different rules and regulations, too. Pereira says, “With different geographies we have different compliance needs to meet. Box allows us to adapt the classifications and regulatory requirements, such as for legal or finance, to manage our content in a better way.”

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is accelerating globally. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power generation are predicted to surpass nuclear power by 2025 and 2026, respectively. Policymakers and advocates are driving this shift to combat climate change, and various policy measures support the integration of sustainable energy. Solar PV, onsite solar, community solar, onsite battery storage, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and energy attribute certificates (EACs) are key components of renewable energy adoption. Leveraging expert insights can help organizations navigate these options effectively.
