The New Utility KPI: Preventing Failure

The New Utility KPI: Preventing Failure

Success Isn’t Always Something You Can See Utilities have long measured success through visible outcomes: work orders completed, meters installed, outages restored, service requests closed, and response times improved. These metrics remain essential, but as utility operations become more connected, automated, and data-driven, another measurement is becoming just as valuable. What didn’t happen. Emergency dispatches…

The Power of IoT and FSM

The Power of IoT and FSM

For years, utility field operations have largely followed a familiar pattern: identify a problem, dispatch a crew, and restore service. While this approach remains essential for emergencies, advances in connected technologies are changing how utilities manage their infrastructure. Today, the combination of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Field Service Management (FSM) software is enabling…

Utility Operations: Moving Beyond Reactive Work

Utility Operations: Moving Beyond Reactive Work

For decades, utility field service management (FSM) was largely reactive. A customer reported an outage, equipment failed, or a maintenance issue was discovered during an inspection. A work order was created, a crew was dispatched, and the problem was resolved. While this approach has served utilities for years, today’s operating environment demands something more. Aging…

Why AMI Deployments Stall and How To Fix It

Why AMI Deployments Stall and How To Fix It

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) projects promise better data, improved efficiency, and enhanced customer service. Yet many deployments fall behind schedule, exceed budgets, or struggle to deliver the expected results. The problem usually isn’t the meters or the communications network. It’s how the work is managed in the field. The Challenge: Disconnected Field Operations AMI deployments…

Grid Reliability Planning: Building a Stronger Utility Network

Grid Reliability Planning: Building a Stronger Utility Network

Electric, water, and gas utilities operate in an environment where reliability is not optional—it is expected. Communities depend on uninterrupted service for homes, businesses, hospitals, and critical infrastructure. As extreme weather events increase, infrastructure ages, and customer expectations grow, utilities must take a proactive approach to grid reliability planning. Reliability planning is no longer just…
