Data: The digital knight in shining armour of AMP8

13 September 2024 

With the water industry under pressure, could data be the digital knight in shining armour in AMP8? Utility Week asks in their new report, “Transforming Service in the Water Sector – The Power of Data” here.  

We view data as the key player, and our bespoke smart programmes are built around DaaS and DaaS+.

DaaS (Data as a Service) provides water companies with on-demand access to water usage data via the internet or cloud-based services, enabling real-time monitoring and efficient management of water resources. DaaS+ (Data as a Service Plus) goes further by integrating advanced analytics, predictive maintenance and automated reporting. This allows for deeper insights, proactive leak detection and integration with other smart systems, helping water companies optimise usage, improve operational efficiency and achieve conservation goals while enhancing customer satisfaction.​

DaaS+ is about more than just metering. It puts ‘Smart’ at the heart of everything you do, ensuring data-led decisions for network interventions. Identifying and localising both network-side and customer-side leakage will be crucial. Together, DaaS and DaaS+ provide real-time monitoring, resource optimisation, enhanced operational efficiency through advanced analytics and proactive leak detection.

We bring everything together, ensure it all works, and coordinate collaboration between various parties to guarantee data delivery. We can tailor solutions to meet our clients’ needs, choose the best technologies, and remain independent, without being tied to any specific provider. By leveraging our independence and buying power across the UK, we can secure the best rates and ensure value for money.
