Utilities face many disruptive and costly challenges — from wildfires and weather events to supply chain issues and equipment failures. While these challenges are often unpredictable, companies investing in data and analytics are better positioned to address existing problems and prepare for — and even prevent — future ones. 

Preventative maintenance, procurement and customer outage notifications are three strategic areas where data and analytics can help utilities now and in the future. Is your “run to failure” maintenance approach crippling profits? Can you track suppliers, buyers and inventories through one platform? Are you confident in your automated messaging capabilities? By leveraging data and analytics, you can solve these issues and future-proof your utility.

In this playbook, you’ll learn how data and analytics can:

• Mitigate equipment problems through the use of condition-monitor sensors 
• Simplify and aggregate procurement information
• Improve customer communication during a time of crisis
