Abstract
While technologies in the water sector have been advancing over the past few decades, complementary innovation in business models is needed to support the adoption of these technologies. One emerging opportunity is an outsourced approach to data collection, delivery, and analysis known as “Data-as-a-Service.” This study is the first to explore the drivers, barriers, and implementation trends for water and wastewater utilities to adopt this model. The findings provide valuable insights for utility managers looking for new ways to adopt innovative technologies and regulators and policymakers seeking to encourage utilities to make data-driven decisions.
