New partnership will enable utility clients to fast-track value realization in data innovation, digital transformation, and decarbonization
Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK), a leading provider of high-end consulting and engineering services, announced today our strategic partnership with Cognite, a global industrial software-as-a-service (SaaS) company driving full-scale digital transformation of asset-heavy industries. The partnership combines Tetra Tech’s utility management consulting expertise with Cognite’s leading Industrial DataOps platform, Cognite Data Fusion™, to help energy utilities remove data silos and enable users to collaborate quickly and safely to develop, operationalize, and scale industrial AI solutions and applications.
Together, Tetra Tech and Cognite will enable utilities to increase resilience and drive decarbonization with digital twin-based technology and practices for predictive maintenance, digital inspections, and system analytics.
Cognite Data Fusion will augment the Tetra Tech Delta suite of proprietary technologies and analytical tools and is part of our Leading with Science® approach to deliver clear solutions to the most complex client challenges. Cognite will add its technical and development support for implementation within the utility technology ecosystem to Tetra Tech’s deep and detailed utility operations experience to advance accelerated adoption and change management in asset management and maintenance.
“Utility companies manage a significant amount of data, and the accelerated deployment of renewable energy, battery storage, and electric vehicle mobility will further increase data complexity,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech Chairman and CEO. “Through our partnership with Cognite, we will use our Leading with Science approach to help utility clients streamline data sets and establish a platform to enable digital innovation for core operations.”
Trygve Ronningen, Executive Vice President of Operations, Cognite North America, said, “In operations, data must be anchored within the larger process for it to be leveraged in any meaningful way, be that to improve reliability, minimize risk, or increase operational flexibility. With Tetra Tech, we are excited to help more utilities take full advantage of their data by reducing time spent on data-related tasks by 90 percent and accelerating digital use case development by 10-25 times.”
