Isn’t Excel Good Enough?
Some things to consider• How many times must the data be
touched/recopied before it is finally entered into my spreadsheet or report?
• How many people need to contribute to get all the data you need for your regulatory and business reports?
• How long does it take you to pull all this together?
• How confident are you that the data is accurate?
• Are your calculations always correct/accurate/consistent? Are data qualifiers accurately handled?
• How do you back up and secure your data?
• How do you assure revision control?
• Where is historical data stored and can it be easily accessed?
Some common concerns• Where did this number come from? Did it
get changed or is this the actual result?
• What happened to the formula in my spreadsheet?
• Who changed my number?
• Why is this number different in this report?
• Am I liable for errors in regulatory reports?
• How do I compare data from multiple spreadsheets?
• How can I be sure that this is the most accurate information?
• What happens to the spreadsheets when my permit levels change?

Looking to the Next Few Years…
• 45% utilities report 60% workforce retirement over next 5 years
• Increasing desire to optimize operations, not just meet regulatory compliance
• Mandates for integrated water information management – Already a mandate by CH2MHill/OMI, United Water & Veolia– Engineering firms have engineers focused exclusively on data management– Excel will not be acceptable as a primary data repository
• Growing need to have information (rather than just data) to make decisions and be proactive and predictive
• Instruments connected directly to PCs or web-hosted software to provide bi-directional control, data visualization, process optimization and reporting
• Increasing importance of water distribution system quality and growing prevalence of smart water grid
Data information management systems are better equipped to handle these new requirements
