More extreme and frequent weather events, aging infrastructure, and poor vegetation applications have caused a sharp increase in utility power outages over the last few decades. This webinar talks about advanced analytics and how machine learning techniques can create a number of powerful outage management solutions including vegetation management, outage prediction, and resource optimization. When effectively developed and deployed, these solutions can significantly improve grid reliability, storm response efforts, and customer satisfaction for utilities.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: CIO, COO, Director of Emergency Preparedness/Response, Storm Director, Field Operations Director, Business Analyst
