Industry-specific accelerators such as Copperleaf H2O for water utilities in the UK, provide a unique and meaningful set of capabilities to the market. Using a predefined, best-practice configuration aligned with both ISO 55001 and Ofwat's Outcome Delivery Incentives, the Copperleaf H2O Solution can be implemented within a matter of weeks to help new clients get up and running quickly.

"The Copperleaf H2O solution promises to maintain transparency of operability, reducing the need for black-box decision making and facilitating the development of more robust, appropriate, and defensible investment plans based on our corporate vision and customer needs," commented AnneLouise McGinn, Asset Management Lead at Portsmouth Water.

Similarly, the industry-specific accelerator for electric transmission and distribution utilities enables UK utility companies to leverage the UK's Common Network Asset Indices Methodology (CNAIM) quickly in a streamlined asset management solution. A unique feature is its flexible configuration, which can easily be adapted in geographies outside of Great Britain. In collaboration with clients such as NIE Networks, Cerius-Radius, VISUE, and Powerco, Copperleaf has successfully adapted the CNAIM methodology for use in Northern Ireland, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Japan, Canada, and New Zealand.

"We are excited about the Copperleaf CNAIM Solution and look forward to utilizing it to improve our risk management efforts and ultimately, increase value from our assets," added Kristoffer Breiner Nielsen, Head of Portfolio Management at Cerius-Radius.

With these innovative industry-specific solutions and programs, IFS is poised to revolutionize asset investment planning and deliver unmatched value to clients. These proven software configurations, combined with an agile implementation approach, act as a project accelerator to enable faster time to value.
