IFS solutions improve worker visibility and safety during emergencies through improvements in communications and workforce management systems
As a provider of natural gas, electricity, water, and wastewater services, Colorado Springs Utilities faced a monumental task when a forest fire highlighted the need for improvements to its communications and workforce management systems.
In the aftermath of the fire, it was clear that Colorado Springs Utilities would require an effective workforce management solution that would incorporate each of the utility’s divisions, integrate its back office systems, and make overall work crew management more efficient.
Colorado Springs Utilities serves 228,000 electric customers, 135,000 water customers, and 190,000 natural gas customers in the Pikes Peak region. As a municipal utility, it is tasked with keeping rates as low as possible while maintaining safe and reliable services to its customers. As such, the utility sets rates only high enough to cover its cost of operating.
