Helping councils comply with Local Water Done Well legislation
To help councils meet the requirements of the Local Water Done Well legislation, Datacom has developed the ‘Water Asset Intelligence’ platform – WAI – a ‘ready to go’ pre-configured platform that will support councils that opt to establish a Council-Controlled Organisation (CCO) for the planning and management of their water services.
The WAI platform builds on Datacom’s existing cloud-based ERP council platform Datascape, which is currently used by over 75% of New Zealand councils, bringing together data management, IoT water metering, water network monitoring, water billing and supporting public consultation. The WAI platform also offers a strong foundation for councils that are looking to establish a regional multi-council organisation to manage water services in the longer term.
Datacom’s preconfigured WAI platform has been designed to meet the total platform needs of councils that opt for a CCO model, spanning all aspects of the management of water services and also the operational and stakeholder-facing functions of the CCO including:
- asset management
- CX and customer management
- staff and contractor management
- geospatial management
- finance
- corporate operations and security management
- record and knowledge management
- ICT services
- public-facing web and mobile interfaces including billing portals.
