137 PUB L I C S E C TOR “AVEVA and Microsoft are helping public sector customers embrace a holistic approach to accelerate digital transformation by leveraging industrial information. We are enabling workers to make rapid decisions and respond quickly in the face of service disruptions or crisis situations and driving improved sustainable operations, reduced emissions and expedited net-zero objectives. AVEVA Data Hub is a software-as-a-service platform on Microsoft Azure that uses artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, unlocks operational efficiencies, increases sustainability and drives digital transformation. AVEVA and Microsoft are empowering customers to reduce waste, optimise energy efficiency and preserve quality of natural resources, while providing critical infrastructure services and resources.” “Sustainability is part of the DNA at Diehl Metering and has been a priority for a long time. Thanks to our IZAR Software offer, we are committed to developing solutions that empower a sustainable future. For example, our smart analytics Water Loss Management application, IZAR@SMARTWATER which is available on Microsoft Azure cloud, allows our customers to continuously monitor the water network. In addition, our IZAR@HOME software for mobile phone, also hosted on Azure, is distributed by our utility customers to inform end users about their consumption patterns. It allows the utility companies to help customers change their habits and save both money and essential resources such as water and energy.” “Pivoting towards a more sustainable tomorrow is a key outcome for public sector organisations. Gamma’s Microsoft Teams voice solutions are a great way for public sector organisations to deliver more sustainable processes and increase employee well-being, while leveraging existing environments and set-ups. From a telephony perspective, too many public sector organisations still rely on legacy network solutions. In addition to the high costs associated with maintenance, support and management, these solutions also require more hardware than cloud-based solutions. As more people work from home, obsolete desk phones only serve to increase electrical consumption and carbon emissions. Deploying Teams voice solutions allows public sector organisations to move away from legacy hardware and migrate to laptops and collaborative applications, cutting power consumption from idle desk phones and reducing carbon outputs.” Mourad Boufenar Team Manager Software and Related Services, Diehl Metering Sam Winterbottom Public Sector Director, Gamma Gary Wong Industry Principal – Global Infrastructure and Water, AVEVA
