How the Water Industry Learned to Embrace Data
By: Frank V. Cespedes and Amir Peleg
Abstract
Most current talk about “big data” seems to assume the disintermediation or replacement of physical assets by digital technologies. But a bigger and more impactful trend is the use of online tools to improve physical asset utilization in many traditional off-line businesses. This article discusses the water industry as an example, and the organizational changes and levers relevant to extracting value from emerging data-analytics technologies.
