City of Riverside

“We had disparate data and systems – everything was everywhere,” said CJ Smith, a Project Manager for the City of Riverside Public Utility (RPU), which operates grids, substations, water plants, and maintenance fleets to provide 120,000 residents with essential resources. Faced with an aging workforce and aging infrastructure, the city invested in an aggressive initiative that connected myriad systems into a data-rich integrated system. The result has transformed how the city operates, and today, Riverside has a digital and connected utility that has streamlined reporting, maintenance and emergency response and that is projected to save the City of Riverside $3 million over the next five years.
