Build Resilient, Knowledge-Driven Operations with Aquadvanced Suite and eRIS
Preparing operations for what comes next
Uncertainty is becoming the new normal for water utilities. Workforce transitions, extreme weather, evolving regulations, and shifting demand patterns are challenging traditional operating models. To continue delivering reliable service, you need operations that are resilient, adaptable, and driven by knowledge—not just data. We work with you to enhance your water and wastewater system performance through proven operational practices and connected digital services that support your community. We offer solutions to help you prepare for the future by embedding operational expertise into intelligent, connected systems.
A unified, knowledge-driven operational ecosystem
Our approach combines the Aquadvanced Suite with the eRIS Data Hub to deliver resilient, knowledge-driven operations across the entire water cycle. Together, they create a unified operational environment that captures institutional knowledge, automates decision-making, and ensures trusted data is available when and where it’s needed- helping you to manage water supply, wastewater treatment, and essential resources more effectively.
Embedding expertise to overcome workforce challenges
Aquadvanced captures how your most experienced operators manage collection systems, water networks, pumping stations, and treatment plants—and embeds that expertise into automated control strategies. This helps you maintain consistent operating practices while reducing reliance on a shrinking pool of highly experienced staff. You gain a more resilient utility service model that protects critical water and wastewater operations.
Secure, connected data that powers smarter operations
All operational intelligence is supported by the eRIS Data Hub, which securely connects systems across your organization, eliminates data silos, and provides a single, trusted view of operations. Built to meet cybersecurity requirements, eRIS enables you to automate with confidence and collaborate more effectively – ensuring your water and wastewater services remain reliable and secure.
Adapting quickly in the face of uncertainty
Together, Aquadvanced and eRIS enable utilities to respond to changing conditions faster and more effectively by supporting:
- Continuity of operations through workforce change, by embedding operator knowledge into automation
- Rapid learning and deployment, prioritizing recent data to deliver value quickly
- Scenario modeling and “what-if” analysis, to prepare for unforeseen events and train new staff
- Climate resilience, with adaptive controls that respond to extreme weather and shifting system behavior
- Enterprise-wide visibility, across assets, networks, and treatment operations
- More effective water resource management and utility practices that strengthen the services you deliver to your community
Faster time to value with an existing data foundation
If you are already using eRIS, Aquadvanced capabilities can be deployed more rapidly by leveraging existing integrations and data pipelines—accelerating time to value and enabling faster adaptation to new challenges. This allows you to enhance system performance without disrupting your current water or wastewater services.
Operating with confidence in an uncertain future
By combining trusted data with embedded expertise and adaptive automation, we help you operate the way you intend—even as conditions change. The result is a resilient operational foundation that supports today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow’s uncertainties – so you can deliver reliable, effective service across your entire utility system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aquadvanced embeds operational knowledge into automated systems, reducing reliance on highly experienced operators and supporting new staff with scenario-based training tools.
Yes. Aquadvanced uses real-time data and predictive algorithms to adjust operations quickly, ensuring resilience during climate-related disruptions.
Aquadvanced requires minimal historical data and prioritizes recent information, enabling rapid implementation compared to traditional solutions.
eRIS securely integrates all operational data, eliminates silos, and accelerates deployment of Aquadvanced tools for faster adaptation.
Absolutely. eRIS complies with strict cybersecurity standards to protect your operational and regulatory data.
O&M—short for Operations and Maintenance—refers to the day to day activities required to keep water treatment facilities running safely, reliably, and efficiently. It includes operating treatment processes, monitoring water quality, maintaining equipment, managing energy use, and responding to system issues before they affect service.
Strong O&M practices help utilities extend asset life, control costs, and stay resilient even as conditions change—whether due to aging infrastructure, shifting regulations, or climate driven uncertainty.
