Today’s water utilities are faced with ever increasing pressures – on their water supply, their efficiency, their workforce, their infrastructure, and their bottom line. However, even if the needs felt by utilities are common, your utility’s solution must be tailored to meet your needs. It must improve your customer service and your customers' experiences. This white paper explores how, by taking advantage of the capabilities of today’s AMR (automatic meter reading) and AMI (advanced metering infrastructure) systems, your water utility can better manage myriads of data, optimize your operations and resources, connect all departments simultaneously as a smart water network, and protect your existing asset investments while expanding for the future. The right AMR/AMI system will not just give you information, but will make sense of it so that your utility can take action.
