Transformative Capabilities for Modern Utilities Built on a Foundation of Innovation Resolve for Utilities introduces a powerful suite of capabilities to revolutionize field service operations in the face of these compounding challenges, ensuring that the "last mile" to the customer is state-of-the-art, setting the bar for Workforce Management today and tomorrow, regardless of work or worker type. Intelligent Crew Callout for Rapid Response: Resolve uses AI to coordinate crews for essential work – from planned maintenance on aging infrastructure to emergency response during floods, storms, or wildfires. The system provides real-time visibility into crew availability, seamlessly communicates with field workers, and manages operations across regions and states – freeing up planners to focus on strategic decisions while AI handles coordination friction. Mutual Aid Technology for Large-Scale Disasters: When major storms strike, utilities must rapidly coordinate with neighboring companies. Resolve's Mutual Aid capabilities use AI to enable seamless communication and resource sharing across organizational boundaries, protecting communities faster when they need it most. Intelligent Support for Field Crews: Resolve's enhanced mobile capability dramatically improves field crew productivity through intelligent guidance based on real-time data, equipment images, and historical patterns.

Our intense attention to this area reflects both our heritage in Utilities FSM and our commitment to evolving alongside our customers with modern, practical innovation. Nobody understands the utilities market like IFS, and it's this industry-specific application of AI that is enabling the Utility providers we work with to radically improve efficiencies and deliver better moments of service to their own customers." Kriti Sharma, CEO of IFS Nexus Black, said: "Our approach is simple: listen closely to our utility customers, innovate quickly where it matters most, and deliver solutions that perform under real-world conditions – fast. This is AI designed for the workers who restore power in treacherous conditions, who scale transmission poles after disasters, and who keep critical infrastructure running 24/7. When lives are on the line, safe, reliable AI isn't optional – it's everything."

Achieving Infrastructure Resiliency and Preparedness for the Water and Energy Transition SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce Fort Collins Utilities and Texarkana Water Utilities as recipients of the tenth annual Excellence in Resourcefulness Awards in collaboration with Itron. The awards were presented during Itron Inspire 2025, Itron's premier customer conference. To learn more about Itron Inspire, visit www.itron.com/inspire. Both utilities were celebrated for demonstrating that strategic technology investment is the key to achieving profound water and energy conservation goals, strengthening financial stability, and empowering their communities. Excellence in Resourcefulness – Energy: Fort Collins Utilities Fort Collins Utilities, a municipal utility in Colorado, is among a growing number of utilities with an ambitious goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050 and achieving 100% renewable electricity by 2030. As a long-term proponent of flexible load, the municipality has successfully demonstrated a cost-effective, progressive approach to optimizing local variable loads through the rollout of Time-of-Use rates and DERMS. A key success factor of this program has been Fort Collins' long-standing collaboration with Itron. Since the initial deployment, Fort Collins and Itron have worked together to refine functionalities, such as OpenADR support and advanced telematic communications for electric vehicles. The system aggregates customer-owned devices, such as smart thermostats and grid-interactive water heaters, enabling the utility to manage and shift demand in real time, actively. Through these efforts, the utility is focused on hitting specific targets, such as achieving 5% of its 2030 peak load as dispatchable capacity (approximately 16 MW). "Since the program's launch, the utility has successfully shifted around 750 MWh of energy annually. It also uses a "cost of conserved energy" metric to assess success, justifying investments by showing that the cost of these initiatives is much lower than the cost of purchasing energy from the power supplier," stated Farah Saeed, Industry | Director Energy & Environment Growth Advisory at Frost & Sullivan. The utility's cost of saving energy is around 3 cents per kWh, while the cost of purchasing power is between 5 and 6 cents per kWh. This cost-saving strategy extends the life of capital assets, such as service transformers and conductors, by reducing peak load and overall grid stress. Excellence in Resourcefulness – Water: Texarkana Water Utilities Tucked away in the corner of Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas, Texarkana Water Utilities (TWU), a mid-sized water utility, was dealing with what many water utilities are experiencing today—the urgent need to upgrade dated water infrastructure with limited available funding. The water utility had reached a point where it recognized that any prolonged delay or inaction would further increase operational costs for detecting leaks and managing dated meters. In 2024, TWU's AMI project secured $20 million in funding by establishing a compelling, data-backed business case. Texarkana Water Utilities' water infrastructure modernization strategy relies on an integrated technology stack that includes satellite imagery and Itron's leak detection solution to monitor the distribution network continuously. This solution has been instrumental in early leak detection, identifying 64 leaks in total. By quantifying potential water loss, TWU could save over 137.3 million gallons of treated water annually, resulting in $178,500 in annual operational savings. "By quantifying potential water losses, TWU can strategically prioritize repairs and ensure resources are directed to areas with the most significant positive impact," noted Saeed. Beyond conservation, the new AMI system, supported by Itron's technology, delivers real-time data to a customer portal, transforming the utility-customer relationship into one of transparency and trust. This empowers residents to partner in conservation efforts and helps the utility achieve long-term fiscal prudence. Award Methodology As part of the selection process, Frost & Sullivan conducted in-depth research and interviews and evaluated utilities against industry best practices and the decision criteria, including societal impact and business impact for each category. Societal impact indicators include delivering superior technology-driven resource management and resource-conscious programs that enhance overall customer experience and engagement with resourcefulness. Business impact indicators include a well-drafted vision for implementing a technology-oriented resourcefulness strategy that yields operational efficiencies and strengthens the utilities or city's image as a leader and advocate for sustainability.
