About the session

The data driven network

The digitisation of networks and assets is making huge volumes of data available to operators which, with the help of analytics could enable transformations in efficiency, performance and cost reductions. This seminar will explore what good looks like for the operation of a digital, data-driven network and uncover the most valuable source of data available to networks today.
