Utilities want to be able to budget for the next 5, 10, 25, 50+ years. They also want to see what the effect of implementing a progressive asset management software like Info360 will have on their network. I would be great if the risk tool could do long term projections and as part of that show what the long term results would be on their system if they replace 2%, 5%, 10%, etc. of their pipes on a yearly basis. Some kind of If-Then analysis to show different outcomes for longer term budgeting. This would help justify greater CIP spending if we can show how it benefits the utility over the longer term.
