Water and waste water utilities see great opportunity in digitizing their business operations.
Despite steep challenges posed by aging infrastructures, innovative solutions are addressing difficult problems such as unbilled consumption, intelligent metering and leak detection. Other solutions can help optimize asset maintenance and field mobility, and monitor water quality.
Cognizant’s global water utilities practice has the deep industry and digital experience that water and waste water processing utilities need to drive new business value—from perfecting the customer experience to providing clean and safe water in a sustainable way.
The challenges are many, but so are the opportunities. Cognizant’s water utilities practice helps you harness the latest digital technologies.

Cognizant offers smart technology solutions such as our Smart Meter Infrastructure implementation and rollout services, Smart Meter Asset and Operations Manager, and analytics for network and customer operations.
These technologies enable water utilities to detect and prevent leakages; better understand consumption trends based on real-time data; and segment customers based on such variables as water conservation and billing rate structures.

CIS AND BILLING
IMPROVE ACCURACY. INCREASE FLEXIBILITY.
Increased competition and evolving markets are forcing water utilities to both improve customer service and lower prices. The result—Squeezed margins. In many scenarios, the key to success is to offer superior customer services that improve efficiencies and reduce the meter-to-cash cycle.
To help achieve greater flexibility, reduce days sales outstanding (DSOs), ensure timely financial reporting and reconciliations for improved regulatory compliance, Cognizant offers several services. These include customer account management, billing and invoicing, service order management and customer care. We also help utilities connect with their customers and share information through smart meters and on-premises displays.
