Case Study: Kansas City Board of Public Utilities saves $1 million with Prometheus Group APM

Prometheus APM Saves Kansas City BPU $1 Million From Failure Avoidance

The Kansas City Board of Public Utilities (BPU) faced significant challenges in its water distribution system, including an unmanageable volume of alarms and an inability to detect issues early, which led to costly water leaks. To address this, the utility turned to the Prometheus Group's AtonixOI cloud platform, specifically its Performance Analysis product, to help manage data and improve system monitoring.

By implementing Prometheus Group's software, BPU was able to collect and analyze meter data in near-real time, allowing for the early detection of leaks and a more targeted approach to repairs. This new strategy resulted in substantial savings for the utility, including $1 million saved from failure avoidance and $20,000 in halted revenue losses, demonstrating the significant impact of the solution.
