From reactive to predictive: Data-driven asset management for the modern grid
Aging infrastructure already stretches electric utility asset management teams thin, and distributed energy resources add another layer of operational complexity. When field data arrives incomplete, inconsistent, or delayed, planning and maintenance decisions start slipping. Legacy forms and scattered spreadsheets force crews into reactive work, often long after early warning signs...
Fulcrum Insider – Issue 56
The utility landscape is shifting rapidly as we enter 2026. The industry faces a convergence of AI-driven load growth and rising reliability risks. While data centers move at the speed of software, the physical grid often moves at the speed of concrete. This timing gap is forcing a rewrite of...
Top 5 field data challenges facing electric utilities (and how mobile platforms solve them)
Electric utilities manage a wide range of field activity, including inspections, maintenance, reporting, and emergency response. These operations depend on accurate, timely data — but many teams still rely on outdated systems. Paper forms, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools create delays, errors, and blind spots across crews and departments. These inefficiencies...
How to fix your field-to-office data pipeline
Your core systems — EAM, GIS, and ERP — are hungry for good data. You made a massive investment in them, expecting streamlined operations and critical insights. But what are they actually getting from your field teams? If the answer is "slow, inconsistent, or just plain unreliable data," you have...

Geospatial data collection: The definitive guide
Geospatial data collection captures what happens in the field and links every detail to its exact location. It connects site observations, asset conditions, and environmental records to the maps and systems that drive real work. When teams collect consistent, location-based information, organizations gain a dependable view of their operations and...
Future-proofing field data: The business case for a field process platform
Your app backlog keeps growing, the data coming from the field is inconsistent, and your GIS experts spend too much time building simple forms. These are not separate problems. They are symptoms of a single, foundational mismatch between your work and your tools. Your GIS architecture is excellent for managing...
