Case Study: Big Bend Electric Cooperative modernizes SCADA with Survalent’s hosted solution

Big Bend Electric Cooperative modernizes SCADA for 10,000 meters with Survalent

Big Bend Electric Cooperative, a not-for-profit electric utility, had no SCADA system in place and faced significant internal resistance to deployment due to limited IT resources and concerns over the security and maintenance demands of an on-premise solution. They partnered with vendor Survalent to find a modern solution that would not burden their small team.

Survalent implemented a cloud-hosted SCADA solution, an infrastructure-as-a-service model managed in Microsoft Azure. This approach eliminated the need for local servers, complex patching, and 24/7 internal monitoring, as Survalent manages all daily operations, updates, and backups. This provided Big Bend Electric Cooperative with a scalable and secure path to modernization, enhancing their system reliability and operational visibility.
