Managed Connected Infrastructure for Utilities

Intelligent operation of network, edge and device infrastructure to improve service levels, resilience, automation and operational efficiency across multiple technologies and vendors.
Schedule a meeting
As utilities deploy private networks, edge nodes, IoT devices, fiber, satellite links and operational platforms, the complexity of operating the enabling infrastructure grows rapidly. Multi-vendor tools, inconsistent inventories and manual workflows can slow diagnosis, create configuration drift and make consistent service assurance increasingly difficult
Why this "Managed Connected Infrastructure" challenge?
Managed connected infrastructure enables utilities to operate a heterogeneous estate with consistent service levels, without building every specialist capability internally

The operating model can span monitoring, incident response, lifecycle coordination, capacity management and continuous improvement across network and edge technologies. As complexity moves from deployment to day-to-day operation, observability, assurance, inventory, automation and orchestration become critical to manage the infrastructure as a service estate

Key benefits

Turning connectivity and network capabilities into concrete utility operating outcomes with stronger resilience, integration, security and lifecycle management

Scalable operations across technologies and vendors

A managed model consolidates lifecycle, monitoring, security and vendor coordination under business-aligned SLAs, helping scale heterogeneous estates without equivalent growth in complexity.

How NTT DATA helps

01
End-to-end service scope and responsibilities

Defines service scope across network, edge and devices, establishing SLA, NOC/service desk and lifecycle responsibilities.

02
Trustworthy inventory, telemetry and observability

Builds the foundation with reliable inventory and telemetry, then adds cross-domain observability and service-level assurance.

04
Advanced operational intelligence

Applies analytics and AI to correlate events and support diagnosis, while more advanced closed-loop or agentic capabilities are introduced as data, policies and responsibilities mature.

05
Continuous improvement and outcome-based governance

Establishes governance and continuous improvement mechanisms focused on service outcomes, performance and progressive operational maturity.
