By streamlining data across the enterprise, it leverages insights to help predict and prevent water leaks, reduces water service costs and improves water conservation. In addition to maintaining, supporting and optimising the Lentic platform, Fujitsu will also be involved in co-creating a roadmap for this innovative enterprise IoT platform to rapidly scale.
“We are thrilled to work with Fujitsu to accelerate the sector’s digital transformation journey. Fujitsu’s choice to work with Lentic is a show of faith in the product and the collective teams behind it.”
