Description

Water utilities implement their mission and vision by executing numerous business processes, all of which rely on newly generated data. These processes encompass various areas such as water production and distribution, asset inspection, asset maintenance, metering, customer billing, customer service, and capital planning.

Utility managers utilize data management systems to facilitate informed decision-making, enhance operational efficiency, and optimize organizational value. The primary objective of data system management is to empower the entire utility workforce in making effective and efficient decisions by effectively managing data, employing sound data analytics, and proactively leveraging digital technology systems. In this webinar, we will explore data collection, the decision support capabilities it offers, and insights on harnessing technological advancements.
