Red Clay

Red Clay is a specialized management and technology consulting firm focused exclusively on the utility industry. With more than 24 years of experience, the company has delivered over 450 utility projects to clients of every size and type across the United States and globally. Red Clay is a certified Oracle Partner with deep expertise in Oracle Utilities applications and technology platforms, including customer information systems (CIS), advanced metering infrastructure, and customer experience solutions. The firm has achieved the distinction of completing the first-ever Oracle C2M (Customer to Meter) implementation, cementing its reputation as a pioneer in utility technology transformation. Red Clay employs the largest and most-certified US-based Oracle Utilities implementation team, with more than 275 certifications spanning 60 unique specialties. This concentration of talent supports multi-service utilities operating in both regulated and competitive markets. The company's proprietary TransformOne Methodology (T1), built from over 40 full-scale implementations and hundreds of smaller engagements, provides a structured framework for guiding utilities through assessment, implementation, and ongoing support of enterprise software. Red Clay's service offerings span the full transformation lifecycle. Its Advisory Services practice includes cloud roadmapping, cloud readiness assessments, IT master planning, capability model maturity assessments, delivery assurance, and owner's representative services. These offerings help utility CIOs and business leaders prioritize technology investments, manage technical debt, and align IT strategy with organizational and regulatory requirements. The Oracle Utilities Solutions practice covers end-to-end implementation and optimization of Oracle Utilities platforms, with capabilities including solution architecture reviews, customization rationalization, infrastructure lifecycle management, and business process redesign. The company also offers client-side support services, providing senior advisors, project managers, organizational change management leads, training specialists, and vendor management resources to utilities that lack internal bench strength for large-scale transformation programs. Its FAM (Fixed Asset Management) Practice and Elevate360 service offering address additional operational and asset management needs within the utility sector. Red Clay's PathwayOne methodology supports strategic roadmapping, helping utilities sequence technology initiatives from vision through execution. The firm's RedBelt program deploys expert-level technical and functional consultants who perform system tuning, reduce batch processing durations, rationalize customizations, and implement business value scoring frameworks. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Red Clay has been recognized three times as one of Atlanta's Best Places to Work and has been named one of Atlanta's Healthiest Employers, reflecting its emphasis on culture and employee development.
