Kraken in the United States

Kraken’s US momentum is real. Tenaska Power Services was its first US licensing deal, and National Grid became its first North American integrated utility customer on the platform. As more US retailers and utilities adopt Kraken, the hard part is not the licence, it is migrating live customer and billing data cleanly and changing the operating model to match. The discipline is the same across every sector Kraken serves and every market it enters.

Two ways to work with us

Two parts: independent assurance and full integration

We are known for Kraken migrations in the United States, but they are only one part of the picture. Clients use us in two ways.

Part A: assurance

Independent eyes on the programme: readiness reviews, plan and supplier challenge, stage gate and go live assurance, and reconciliation of data and billing so your board knows where it really stands.

Part B: full integration

End to end delivery: we lead the programme and the full integration of Kraken with your wider estate and industry processes, including data migration, testing, cutover and hypercare.

Or both

Begin with assurance and move to full integration when you are ready, with the same practitioners throughout.

Why independent

Why a client side adviser matters

A Kraken migration almost always involves the platform provider and a large integrator, each with their own interests. That is exactly when a supplier benefits from an adviser working for it alone, holding the plan, the data and the cutover to a standard. Start with a free migration readiness check.

FAQ

Questions we are asked

Do you work in the United States?

Yes. We support Kraken migrations worldwide, including across the United States and North America. The migration discipline does not change with the market: data first, a rehearsed cutover and a reconciliation everyone trusts.

Are you a Kraken or Octopus partner?

No. We are independent and work for you, not for the platform. Our only interest is your migration landing well.

Can you recover a Kraken migration that is already in trouble?

Yes. We come in to assure, stabilise or recover a migration already under way, reasserting client side control and a safe, controlled path.

Who actually does the work?

Senior people who have led and recovered the largest migrations onto Kraken, backed by a bench of five Kraken practitioners.
