Asset Investment Planning Suite for Water & Wastewater - Water and Wastewater - Water Utilities
Water utilities today are facing unprecedented challenges related to the stewardship of their robust yet aging infrastructure. As the sector’s focus shifts to adapting to climate change and building resilience for an uncertain future, water industry professionals are under immense pressure to innovate the way infrastructure is planned, developed, and maintained. Organizations must strike the right balance between cost-effectively managing business-as-usual activities and investing for the future.
How can you be confident you’re making the best decisions that deliver the greatest value and drive your strategic goals?
Copperleaf® plays a significant role in helping water companies successfully navigate these challenges. By developing frameworks to evaluate all investment options on equal footing, we make it easy for clients to compare dissimilar projects—from those designed to strengthen system reliability, to those that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or improve customer service—and create plans that are transparent, defensible, and aligned with strategic objectives. The Copperleaf Decision Analytics Solution can help your organization decide where and when to invest in your business to maximize capital efficiency, meet performance targets, manage risk, and achieve your financial and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals.
Delivering the highest value means doing the right projects at the right time. This is no easy task for organizations that deal with hundreds of potential investment options, with multiple alternatives and start dates to consider.
Copperleaf’s AI-powered optimization can evaluate the vast number of possibilities and identify the optimal plan within minutes. Sensitivity analysis can easily be performed to explore the impact of different funding, timing, and resource constraints on value and risk, and build a realistic, deliverable plan to achieve your strategic goals.
Organizations in the water sector struggle to forecast sustainment needs across diverse asset types, ranging underground water, sewage and drainage, to above ground pumping stations and water treatment works. Risks associated with climate change, safety, discharge limitations, and compliance must be addressed. Copperleaf can help your organization optimize asset performance by calculating the risk, cost, and value over time for each asset and optimal intervention dates—enabling asset managers to create the best sustainment strategy while accounting for all business constraints.
As your business environment changes, new tactical and strategic priorities emerge. Copperleaf makes it easy to quickly run what-if analyses to explore various investment strategies, build consensus, and align investment decisions with new strategic priorities.
Copperleaf enables a continuous planning process by highlighting variances between planned and actual performance. No matter what twists and turns arise during execution, you’ll be able to re-optimize plans, communicate and defend any changes to stakeholders, and adapt quickly to maintain optimal business performance.
