Managing your electric utility assets to optimize useful life and improve system reliability requires a consistent methodology and technical approach to assessing key criteria linked to asset health and risk assessment. This depends on the collection and assessment of relevant and quality asset data, which is essential to any electric utility asset management system.

Stakeholders across your utility need quick access to the asset technical information and maintenance orders found in the electric utility asset performance management software. Departments such as engineering, planning, operations and asset management can request data that is situation and asset-specific, looking for details that are not provided through broadly distributed reports or software access. Providing these stakeholders with on-demand views into the asset lifecycle data in the context needed can improve decisions and strengthen utility asset performance management.
