Environmental management system

Utilities manage assets that exist and operate within the natural environment. Environmental management plays a critical role in ensuring that stakeholders are informed about the potential needs, impacts, and opportunities related to the intersection of the utility’s assets and the surrounding environment.

The ability to deliver authoritative environmental information to key stakeholders through Enterprise application hosting and management requires utilities to maintain rigid technical requirements, structured workflows, and comprehensive governance. As a result, this utility system enables asset planning efforts to strive for sustainability and focus on reducing the environmental footprint.

Utilities strive to ensure high trust in the accuracy, readiness and availability of the data displayed via their enterprise applications. An Environmental Management system benefits the organization by:

  • Maintaining and enriching a Parcel management system with asset and environmental data
  • Ensuring that field crews can identify areas of environmental sensitivity so that they traverse them in an appropriate manner
  • Empower engineers and construction leads to understand the impact of their designs on local communities and the environment
  • Providing general users with a performant, reliable, and authoritative platform on which to perform their environmental management workflows
