Supporting Community Choice with Asset Management for Co-Ops in Utilities
Co-Ops in Utilities give community members a voice in how energy is generated and delivered through shared ownership and democratic governance. These Utility Co-Ops dedicate themselves to providing safe, reliable, sustainable, and cost-efficient energy services to local, rural, and underserved communities. To offer alternative options for energy generation, Co-Ops need to manage assets that are diverse and geographically distributed, including solar and wind farms. With the IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS), the industry-leading Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Utility Co-Ops can gain visibility into the health of their equipment to optimize performance and conduct preventative maintenance to ensure that their members have uninterrupted access to the energy they rely on. As an IBM Gold-Accredited Consultancy and leading provider of Maximo solutions and services, Starboard Consulting helps Co-Ops in Utilities implement digital asset management solutions that support a variety of energy generation and transmission strategies.
