Utilities don’t lack data. They lack time to weigh every consequence.
WHY THIS DECISION INTELLIGENCE CHALLENGE?
More variables make every decision harder to frame

Operational and investment decisions can depend simultaneously on network conditions, asset health, weather, maintenance, workforce, customer impact, regulation and financial priorities. Traditional analytics can surface patterns and forecasts, but decision makers still have to combine those signals manually and determine what action to consider next.

Key benefits
Better decisions start with seeing the trade-offs

Decision Intelligence brings operational, technical and business variables into the same decision framework expanding what teams can evaluate before acting.

Turn fragmented signals into structured choices

Compare possible actions using operational data, predictive insights, business rules and relevant constraints.

check icon
See the trade-offs before committing

Evaluate reliability, cost, risk and customer impact together instead of treating each in isolation.

check icon
Explore more scenarios in the same window

AI expands the amount of information and number of alternatives teams can assess before a decision.

Make reasoning easier to trace

Surface the factors, risks and operational consequences influencing each option rather than presenting an unexplained recommendation.

How NTT DATA helps

01
Build a contextual view of the decision

Integrate operational and enterprise information including network conditions, asset health, forecasts, workforce, customer impact, regulation and financial priorities.

02
Evaluate alternatives, not just predictions

Combine AI, predictive and prescriptive analytics, optimization and scenario simulation to compare possible courses of action.

03
Make risk and consequences visible

Structure each option around relevant operational impacts, constraints and trade-offs so decision-makers can understand what changes with each path.

04
Align technical and business priorities

Connect engineering realities with reliability, customer, regulatory and financial considerations inside the same decision framework.

Utility leaders aligning technical grid priorities with business objectives by reviewing asset risk, network performance, investment impact and operational trade-offs to support balanced, value-driven decisions
05
Keep accountability with the experts

We don’t turn AI into the decision maker. We use it to expand human decision capacity while preserving governance, explainability and expert responsibility.

Proven impact
More scenarios considered. Tradeoffs made visible. Better-informed decisions under pressure.
Results that matter
More scenarios. Clearer trade-offs. Stronger decisions

Indicative objectives depend on process complexity, information quality, organizational maturity and implementation approach

Accelerate decision preparation

Reduce decision preparation time by 20–40% by bringing operational conditions, asset health, forecasts, constraints and business priorities into a structured decision context before teams evaluate their options.

check icon
Reduce manual information consolidation

Cut manual information consolidation effort by 30–50% by integrating operational and enterprise data otherwise gathered across multiple systems and teams.

check icon
Expand scenario evaluation capacity

Increase scenario evaluation capacity by 30–50%, allowing teams to assess more possible courses of action and compare their implications for reliability, risk, cost and customer impact within the same decision window.

check icon
Improve planning productivity

Increase planning productivity by 15–30% by helping teams move faster from fragmented information to structured alternatives, clearer trade-offs and better-supported planning decisions.

Give utility leaders a clearer view of the options, risks and consequences behind every critical choice
