Modernizing asset operations to stay ahead
Aging infrastructure, evolving regulations, and the shift to renewables are placing greater strain on utility operations. Asset failures are costlier, inspections are more complex, and budgets are tighter, driving a shift from reactive work to data-informed, coordinated execution. That means:
- Aging assets and rising failure risk demand proactive planning tools and condition-based strategies to extend service life and avoid outages.
- Increasing regulatory scrutiny calls for digital workflows and audit-ready records that support compliance and reporting.
- Workforce shortages and field complexity require intuitive mobile tools and dynamic scheduling to maximize resource productivity.
- Siloed systems must give way to real-time, integrated platforms that provide visibility and automate routine tasks.
From strategy to field execution, we help build a connected platform to simplify and strengthen utility operations
We work side by side with asset-intensive organizations to align vision, deploy technology and track value at each step. Our proven approach combines industry expertise, modern integration and delivery accelerators to move quickly from pilot to production.
We have partnered with utilities to design, build and run asset management platforms that adapt to regulatory shifts and technological change. The result is a single source of truth, measurable reliability gains, and lower total cost of ownership for our clients.

Enterprise Asset Management tools that turn data into action
We combine work management, asset health, advanced workforce scheduling, field mobility and advanced analytics with the CGI OpenGrid EAM platform. Every capability shares the same real-time data and user experience, so information flows from the control room to the field without duplication or delay. Utilities can deploy the platform on-prem, in a private or public cloud, or in a hybrid pattern with zero business disruption. The result is faster, safer and more cost-effective asset performance powered by a consistent, cloud-ready architecture.
Unify asset intelligence and work execution with CGI OpenGrid Work and Asset
Plan, schedule and execute every corrective, preventive and capital work order through a single web-enabled solution to gain cradle-to-grave visibility. Faster handoffs and automated approvals shorten cycle times, accelerate closeout and drive measurable reductions in operations and maintenance costs.
Unlock end-to-end workforce mobility through CGI OpenGrid Workforce
Optimize crews with automated schedules that factor skills, travel time and service-level targets so you raise first-time-fix rates and squeeze more productive hours out of a shrinking talent pool. Supervisors see live status and exceptions, letting them redeploy resources before minor delays become major outages.
Keep resources connected online or offline with CGI OpenGrid Field
Push dynamic work packages, interactive maps and step-by-step checklists to any mobile device, online or offline, so technicians work faster and capture data once at the source. Photos, field notes and compliance evidence sync automatically to the office, strengthening safety culture and audit readiness.
Turn operational data into decisive action with CGI OpenGrid Insights
Blend live asset, work and network data in a single analytics layer that surfaces predictive insights, outage alerts and DER (distributed energy resource) impacts, enabling faster decisions, proactive maintenance and higher customer satisfaction without adding IT complexity.
Keep your enterprise asset management operations at peak performance with Solution Management Services
When utilities need turnkey operations, our Solution Management Services for the CGI OpenGrid360 portfolio take full ownership of day-to-day performance. We monitor and optimize environments around the clock, run secure cloud infrastructure, orchestrate releases and lead business-process improvements through a single control center.
