“Asite has allowed us to minimize back and forth between software. My teams now access a federated model minimizing the need for additional licenses, increasing the value of the information we already have.”

Background

DC Water provides drinking water, sewage collection and wastewater treatment for Washington D.C. As part of its digital transformation efforts, DC Water is digitizing its critical assets, including the advanced 
wastewater treatment plant and pump stations in 3D. This initiative aims to improve the daily operations and maintenance of these essential water, sanitary, and stormwater systems across Washington, D.C.

Challenge

Asset data at DC Water was stored across multiple formats- SCADA, Wonderware, GIS maps, LiDAR scans, Oracle, Contract Manager and SharePoint - managed in different platforms. This required teams to switch between software to get a complete view, while also leveraging IBM Maximo for asset management.

Solution

DC Water sought a solution to consolidate asset information and unlock more value from the data being created. DC Water partnered with Mott MacDonald and Asite on a pilot study to centralize asset data. Asite developed a bespoke Common Data Environment (CDE) integration, enabling teams to access and use data efficiently, reducing reliance on multiple software licenses, and enhancing collaboration and operational efficiency.
