«I now see the same analytics as the Financial Director or the Operations Manager»

Utilities have large quantities of data that can be effectively leveraged, if it is reconciled and made available to a common medium.

One of the biggest obstacles to efficiency and sustainability in a water utility is the difficulty in aligning efforts across the various departments and units. Several factors compound the problem, from data and software silos to parallel decision processes.

Utilities have large quantities of data that can be effectively leveraged, if it is reconciled and made available to a common medium: billing data, meter data, SCADA, work orders, GIS, inspections, to mention the most common.  Getting to rational decisions requires the ability to continuously and progressively draw verifiable, transparent decisional metrics from available data. But when those data are visible across the organization, and all make their decisions based on the best common metrics, that's a major step forward. Case in point: syncing and reconciling SCADA and billing data is not as frequent as it may seem. Yet it is available right off the bat in Baseform, and it is beneficial both with traditional manual reads and AMI data (and any combination thereof).

So – just as an example – when a commercial director can have her billing numbers checked and validated against network flows monitored in distribution sectors, that removes a further layer of uncertainty in billing, it provides much-needed clarification on NRW to the O&M manager, and along the way provides a powerful quality control mechanism to both.
