Khanna Consulting
Helping Clients Achieve Real Results through Out-Of-The- Box Thinking

The affairs of the Retail Energy industry are not only very complex in nature, but also continue to evolve due to constant changes in the regulatory and competitive landscape. Additionally, faster adoption of the smarter devices and technologies by consumers adds fuel to the fire. Since every retail energy provider uses a mix of custom home grown applications along with customized off-the-shelf software and out-of-box cloud solutions, it leads to a lot of data duplication and large number of integration points. Houston TX based Khanna Consulting stays abreast of the trends in the industry and helps its clients implement best-in-class systems with simpler integration and flexibility to quickly react to the changes in the regulatory and competitive landscape.

Khanna Consulting, founded by Sanjiv Khanna is a boutique consulting firm that provides end-to-end business and IT consulting to companies in the Retail Energy industry. While Khanna Consulting has technical expertise in Oracle products that is not industry specific, its focus is to be a solution provider specifically for the Retail Energy industry. It has been solving its clients’ business c h a l l e n g e s using several of the Oracle products like Oracle-Siebel, Oracle Utilities, OBIEE, amongst others, as well as custom development using Microsoft’s Dot Net technologies.
