Building the Water Utility of the Future

Water utilities face a complex set of challenges due to rapid urbanization, changing weather patterns, and rising customer demands. Stress on limited resources and rising costs require the industry to invest in the customer relationship as a way to inform customer behavior and establish a partnership that benefits residential and commercial customers, the utility, and more importantly, our planet.

Part of the solution includes prioritizing customer engagement strategies, improving satisfaction, alleviating contact center congestion, and conserving resources.
In particular, providing customers access to clear usage data while exposing prospective leaks is essential for water utilities. This is accomplished via multichannel communications with embedded data analytics to create filtered ad hoc alerts and personalized water leak and billing notifications.
