OVERLAND PARK, KS – June 20, 2016 — Optimatics, the world-leading provider of infrastructure planning software that enables water and wastewater utilities around the globe to avoid billions of dollars in costs while ensuring optimal performance, today announced a new partnership with FATHOM Water Management, Inc. (“Fathom”). Optimatics will offer Optimizer™ through the Fathom Store, an online marketplace designed to enable simple, fast and risk-free adoption of new technologies for water utilities.
Optimizer™ is the industry’s most powerful tool for analyzing hundreds of planning options across multiple asset types, determining the best plan to reduce capital, operating and energy costs, while meeting all of the organization’s planning objectives. The unbiased and defensible outcomes promote financial stewardship and measure sustainability for an organization and its stakeholders.
“Optimatics is excited to be part of the Fathom Store launch. We believe this is an unprecedented opportunity in the water marketplace to efficiently bring together innovative companies like Optimatics with utilities that might otherwise be unaware of the significant impact these technologies can have on their delivery of services to customers ” said Corey Williams, Optimatics President and CEO.
The Fathom Store is a simple, secure data integration platform that connects water utilities with technologies that help streamline business processes, recover revenue and better engage with customers. Fathom’s expert team thoroughly vets each product submitted for consideration to the Store and selects only the top-performing tools, like Optimizer™, for inclusion. Through open application program interfaces (APIs), technology companies can exchange data with Fathom, as well as utilities, to deliver maximum value.
Utilities can now easily access and acquire Optimizer™ without the risks common to technology adoption.
“Nationwide, more than 56,000 water systems are searching for technologies that can help them make the most efficient use of ever-dwindling resources. Unfortunately, finding, vetting and integrating new technologies demands a level of investment most cannot afford to make – until now,” said Trevor Hill, CEO of Fathom. “Through the Fathom Store, we are connecting technology innovators, like Optimatics, directly to the utilities that need their support most. By mitigating the time and financial commitment required to modernize water utilities’ processes, we are propelling the Smart Grid for Water into reality.”
The FATHOM Store is available at https://store.gwfathom.com.
