AI Readiness and Data Strategy Workshop
Unsure whether their infrastructure could support AI, a utility partnered with
Freya Systems to find out—and plan the next move.
Need
A clear roadmap to provide a data strategy for AI adoption.
The Challenge
A public utility responsible for critical wastewater services recognized that its future depended on automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud-based infrastructure. But the path forward wasn’t clear. With aging systems and growing operational complexity, leadership needed to understand if their current data environment could support AI—and if not, what it would take to get there.
To make informed decisions about these investments, it needed guidance on where to begin its AI journey.
The Questions
The operations team was grappling with a deeper concern:
- Was their data reliable enough to inform automated decisions?
- Would outdated, manual processes hold them back from modern solutions?
- Could new technologies be adopted without disrupting mission-critical operations?
They needed a trusted partner to guide them through the complexity.
Approach
Document review, stakeholder engagement, and hands-on collaboration let’s us target areas that need improvement.
Freya Systems' Collaborative Approach
We began by reviewing SCADA documentation, workflows, and reporting systems to understand how your data is collected and used—and where it creates friction.
In an interactive workshop, we engaged stakeholders from IT, operations, and engineering. Their insights helped surface pain points, align priorities, and highlight opportunities for smarter collaboration.
Guided by what your teams shared, we created a phased plan focused on your goals—from improving data documentation and coordinating across departments to piloting AI projects and preparing for cloud migration.
THE PLAN: A CLEAR ROADMAP FOR AI ADOPTION
Freya Systems delivered a phased roadmap to:
Improve Data Documentation
Standardize and structure data to enable AI readiness and governance.
Secure Buy-In Across Teams
Address internal policy, security, and IT concerns to clear the path for innovation.
Launch Targeted AI Pilots
Prioritize short-term wins through feasibility studies that validate automation use cases.
Enable Long-Term Cloud Transition
Build a cloud architecture strategy aligned to both regulatory requirements and operational goals.
This roadmap gave the utility leadership the confidence and clarity needed to modernize their data systems—ensuring every next step toward AI was intentional and grounded in reality.
The Result
Clarity. Alignment. Momentum.
Freya’s roadmap became the utility’s strategic compass, enabling
- Data-driven, confident leadership decisions about AI investment.
- Cross-functional alignment on pain points, opportunities, and priorities.
- A solid technical base paired with greater confidence across teams to apply AI effectively.
- Critical insights captured and preserved in the model, essentially extending institutional knowledge into digital systems.
Why It Matters
Without a roadmap, AI initiatives often stall—buried under unclear goals, fragmented systems, and unrealistic expectations.
Freya Systems brings discipline to innovation by ensuring every solution is:
- Grounded in your operations.
- Built with your team.
- Designed for your future.
Next Steps
Your data is already telling a story. Let’s make sure it’s the right one.
