North American energy company turns to AWS to
automate workflows, unlock data, and improve efficiency for its
pipeline and power generation businesses
Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that TC Energy is going all-in on the
world’s leading cloud, moving its entire infrastructure to AWS. The
North American energy company, headquartered in Canada, has
migrated almost 90 percent of its corporate and commercial
applications, including its SAP platform, to AWS. TC Energy is
leveraging the breadth and depth of AWS services, including machine
learning, analytics, database, serverless, storage, and compute to
deliver energy and generate power more efficiently for millions of
homes in North America. The migration also positioned TC Energy to
respond quickly to the evolving COVID-19 situation, with TC Energy
employees using Amazon WorkSpaces virtual desktops remotely – which
extend the functionality of in-office software resources to at-home
users – to work securely from home.
In 2017, TC Energy began migrating workloads to AWS to modernize
its infrastructure and improve operational efficiencies. A year
later, the company decided to go all-in, moving all of its
business-critical applications, including its SAP platform, to AWS.
The TC Energy team carefully planned and architected the migration,
ultimately moving its entire SAP platform to AWS with zero downtime
and no impact on operations. The company reports a 30 percent
decrease in overall costs related to its SAP workloads since
migrating to AWS. As part of the overall infrastructure migration,
TC Energy also focused on optimization, using AWS Reserved
Instances and Savings Plans to drive efficiency in its cloud
computing usage and capacity planning. With AWS’s Instance
Scheduler tool (a solution that enables customers to easily
configure custom start and stop schedules for their Amazon Elastic
Compute Cloud and Amazon Relational Database Service instances), TC
Energy takes advantage of the elasticity of the cloud to scale down
capacity at night, turning off its workloads unrelated to energy
production. By going all-in on AWS, TC Energy was able to achieve
significant savings that the company is redirecting into further
investments in research, development, and innovation, including new
machine learning projects.
“Since moving to AWS, we’ve shifted our focus to automating
workflows and unlocking efficiencies, rather than operating
infrastructure and managing costly and complex upgrades,” said
Chris Foster, Vice President, Information Services and Chief
Information Officer of TC Energy. “The visibility we now have
across our business has helped us to drive efficiency in our
operations and explore new solutions to advance our efforts on
environmental stewardship to reduce our impact on land disturbance,
carbon intensity, and energy consumption. Our teams identify
business hurdles and work with Information Services to develop new
cloud-native applications in a way that just wasn’t possible before
we started running on AWS.”
“TC Energy is a prime example of how the cloud contributes to
changing the way a company does business, enabling innovation to
permeate deep into its culture and operations,” said Mike
Clayville, Vice President, Worldwide Commercial Sales at AWS. “By
going-all in on AWS, the company is innovating at a faster clip and
unlocking insights that are helping to improve the operational
efficiency of energy delivery, as well as enhancing its
conservation and sustainability practices. They’re finding ways to
boost capacity and changing the way they approach business issues.
TC Energy is an example of how organizations today can use the
power of the cloud to transform their business.”
