Within their Utilities division, Macrocomm produces revenue management reports for smart cities. Smart cities are urban areas which use information and communication technologies to improve government operations and citizen welfare. As one can imagine, massive amounts of data–sometimes connected, but oftentimes not–underlie municipal utilities. But beyond that, the real challenge is the ability to derive actionable insights from all this information.
Managing Director, Vinny Perumal states “The key to achieving smart cities is the ability to analyze realtime data and then drive action by the appropriate public sector team within the city. A truly smart city uses technology to promote better decision-making for city officials.”
After spending days manually compiling revenue and cost data, Macrocomm consultants were sending these time-intensive reports to city engineers, municipal chief financial officers and mayors to make data-driven decisions.
