Store, an online marketplace designed to enable simple, fast and
risk-free adoption of new technologies for water utilities. The FATHOM
Store bridges the gap between technology providers and water utilities
to accelerate adoption of advanced software and hardware as utilities
increasingly look to cloud-based technologies to streamline operations
and recover much-needed revenue.
“There are more than 56,000 water systems across the United States
alone, and each is being asked to deliver more with less,” said Trevor
Hill, CEO of FATHOM. “The adoption of the technology that we as water
utilities need is often hindered by complex integrations, difficultly in
articulating the value propositions or the perceived risk and costs
associated with trying new technologies. The FATHOM Store provides a new
channel for technology to reach water utilities and creates a win-win
environment for technology companies and utilities alike.”
FATHOM provides for the aggregation of smart water data and the
necessary data repositories and API’s to accelerate the adoption of the
water Internet of Things (IoT).
“FATHOM is the Apple of the water industry: it now lets other tech
companies use its platform to do smart things with water meter data,”
said Piers Clark, chairman of Isle Group and former commercial director
at Thames Water. “This is a truly radical move and will provide a
breakthrough in the rate at which smart technologies are launched and
greatly increase their chances of success.”
Technology companies are invited to submit innovative products for
consideration in the FATHOM Store. With the FATHOM Store, technology
providers have an open channel to market and can access a business model
that accelerates the return on their investment. Current technology
partners featured in the FATHOM Store include Black
& Veatch and American
Water Resources.
“The FATHOM Store is a necessary part of bridging the gap between
utilities and technology providers,” said Cindy Wallis-Lage president,
global water management at Black & Veatch. “The water sector is looking
for the tools and technology to do more with less. Through a marketplace
for the seamless acquisition and integration of big data and the
Internet of Things into utility systems, we can deploy these
technologies faster and at lower cost.”
The FATHOM Store is now live and operating at https://store.gwfathom.com.
This initial launch features more than thirty four products available
for purchase, with a host of new partnerships set to come online
throughout the coming months.
