IBM Enterprise Asset Management for water utilities

Utility companies are asset-intensive. And historically, utilities have managed their assets in silos. However, the emergence of the smart meters and smart water networks, challenges of an aging workforce, and a demanding regulatory environment make it critical to standardize on one asset management platform. Now, with the IBM® Enterprise Asset Management solution for utilities, that need transforms from possibility to reality. By using an instrumented approach that includes digital sensors, advanced communication networks and sophisticated analytics, the IBM Enterprise Asset Management solution can help your enterprise understand asset condition, usage and allocation in near real time to more effectively manage resources and costs. The solution creates an interconnected value chain, linking utility participants at multiple levels from rain to drain. It then enables the intelligent flow of information, which can be used to transform and optimize asset performance, worker productivity and supplier enablement.
