Meeting compliance deadlines is dependent on a utility’s ability to properly staff periodic data acquisition projects. The infrequency of these inspection projects can make it difficult for utilities to keep trained staff at the ready. UDC’s Data Acquisition team equips your workforce with a dedicated field team that is ready wherever and whenever you need help. This ensures timely and accurate reporting of assets to meet your evolving regulatory requirements and avoid fines.
Enterprise Asset and Data Optimization
In this digital transformation era, data impacts all facets of the organization, from reporting to improving operational states. Without good data, a utility cannot function at its full potential or perform work efficiently and safely within different businesses.
Having a field team that understands utility data and asset lifecycles safeguards your utility from inputting bad data into downstream systems and reports. Our Data Acquisition team has the knowledge and experience to extract the needed information directly from the asset rather than a system, ensuring the accuracy of your inspection data for compliance reports.
Project Management Experience
Project management is an integral part of the success of any project, ensuring the project remains on schedule, within scope, and on budget. Our project management experience spans projects across varying disciplines and industries, including field and data management. We have the skills and expertise to effectively manage our own projects and technicians, as well as any third-party vendors, so you don’t have to. Our team will make sure the data for your reports is delivered on time to meet your periodic compliance deadlines.
Standardized Processes
The cyclic nature of safety and compliance inspections can result in a different team makeup each time as team members may be engaged in other company initiatives and can’t be pulled for the routine inspection work. Training, team incompatibility, and differing work methods can cause process inefficiencies, hindering data collection efforts. UDC’s Data Acquisition service helps standardize and streamline your processes across different inspections with a unified team.
High Quality Standards
We manage inspection assignments using UDC’s GIS-based collection dashboard software or client-provided software to ensure accurate asset data collection and prevent missed inspections. In our software, we have implemented validation checks for each unit to verify that our team has collected all the necessary information. Our field technicians are required to manually complete these inspection tasks before the asset inspection can be finalized in the application.
We can provide tools for digital collection and compliance reporting views if needed.
