Technology Enablement

Energy and natural resource agencies can realize significant returns through targeted investments in technology enablers.

Likewise, the Department of Homeland Security has issued industry-specific guidance (i.e. Water and Wastewater Systems Sector) which agencies are encouraged to pursue.

Furthermore, some utility technology providers have yet to leverage the wealth of industry diverse knowledge and provide their clients with best-in-class solutions. This fact has resulted in organizations with people, process and technology that are often a decade or more behind.

iMC has an industry proven, multifaceted approach for assisting agencies in developing a technology strategic plan, improving technology operating models, and meeting regulatory objectives.
