If EnergySys is no code, why do we need Elite?

It’s a good question and one I was asked directly in a recent meeting:

“If EnergySys can be configured by the client, why bring in Elite at all?”

I appreciated the honesty. It’s the right question to ask.

Here’s my answer - the same one I gave in the room.

Think of EnergySys like the iPhone

EnergySys is a brilliant platform. It’s powerful, secure, and endlessly flexible. Out of the box, it gives you all the core features: a data model engine, workflow and process chaining, task automation, dashboards, and a screen generator that lets you design user-facing views without writing a line of code.

But here’s the thing. Owning the iPhone doesn’t mean you’ve got the apps.

You don’t buy an iPhone to code your own calendar, messages, and banking tool. You expect apps, designed by experts, to just work.

That’s what we bring to EnergySys.

Elite is not just an implementer. We are the app developers.

We build the allocation engines, statement tools, nomination workflows, emissions reporting modules - the real operational systems that sit on top of EnergySys and make it useful from day one.

This is where value shows up

Could you configure EnergySys from scratch? Yes.

Should you?

That depends. If you want to build your own allocation model, validate it, test it, deploy it, and then support it for years to come, you will need time, expertise, and a few hard lessons.

Or, you can start from something that already works and focus on adapting it to fit your business.

We’ve done this across more than 30 assets. We’ve built reusable components, governed delivery models, and proven assurance methods that reduce risk. And we work in a way that transfers capability back to your team over time, not locks you in.

It’s not about whether EnergySys is no code - It’s about what you do with it!

We don’t just deliver a platform. We deliver outcomes. We don’t leave you with a framework. We bring working solutions. We don’t slow you down with options. We give you a head start with substance.

That’s why Elite Energy exists.
