The importance of work and asset management priorities and operations for utilities cannot be overstated.
New research from Bridge Energy Group, which polled more than 20,000 North American utility associates to validate the usefulness of work and asset management software while disclosing the current state of mobile and scheduling/dispatch systems, validates that sentiment.
Clouding that goal, however, is the fact that 32 percent of current work management systems are no longer supported by OEM vendors. Further, only 37 percent of respondents are using analytics to predict maintenance. And just 20 percent of small/medium size utilities are satisfied with their mobility product (80 percent unsatisfied) and 50 percent of large utilities are unsatisfied with their existing mobility product.
Integration of related systems continues to be a top impediment to work and asset management projects. That’s a major issue considering more than have of respondents (52 percent). Although down from 55 percent in 2014, 32 percent of currently deployed work management systems are no longer covered by vendor support.
