That means water plants and networks ( pipes ). So there are two parts to our digital transformation .”
“ Operationally , what is first and foremost is the digital experience for our consumers , B2B and B2C . For B2B , that means things like the capability to manage their installations and infrastructure remotely with full transparency on the data , predictive modelling , and prescription analytics .
