Capula is a company specialising in advanced operational technology and industrial digitalisation.
Developed by Capula’s digital team, led by Richard Stone, SDO is said to address six key industry challenges: disruption management, process efficiency, net zero, product compliance, asset health and performance, and supply chain agility.
By addressing these challenges, SDO is claimed to enable businesses to achieve results, such as cost savings, enhanced productivity and improved sustainability. It provides a return on investment (ROI) and a strategic roadmap for lasting change.
SDO is designed to benefit clients across a range of industries, including energy transmission, power, renewables, nuclear and defence.
Emerging industries, such as life sciences, pharmaceuticals and aerospace, are also adopting SDO’s framework to improve their operations’ efficiency, compliance and resilience.
SDO uses intelligent integration to create technology bridges between operational technology (OT), and IT layers.
Built on Capula’s proprietary Reach consulting methodology, SDO guides organisations through structured digital transformation journeys. It focuses on the four dimensions of change—people, process, production, and culture.
“I am thrilled to lead the launch of Smart Digital Operations at Capula at this pivotal moment where our industrial landscape is rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly competitive,” said Stone. “SDO represents a unique opportunity to deliver tangible outcomes that align with our clients’ strategic goals, enabling them to thrive in a robust industrial landscape.”
“Our service goes beyond technology. It integrates people, processes, production and culture to create a holistic transformation that drives sustainable success.”
Simon Coombs, managing director at Capula, said: "Smart Digital Operations is a game-changer for our clients, helping them unlock new levels of efficiency and resilience. Having Richard on board brings a wealth of expertise that will accelerate our journey in delivering transformative digital solutions."
“SDO is about creating a clear and actionable pathway for clients to navigate their digital transformation confidently,” Stone continued. “Through detailed digital maturity assessments, we advise clients on how to evolve their operations and achieve their desired outcomes while avoiding the pitfalls that can hinder progress.”
