Bubble PPM for
utility companies
Manage large and complex projects in accordance with statutory frameworks and regulation
We help utility companies manage their Capital, Change, Technical and other projects, ensuring they meet regulatory targets and performance incentives.
Driving performance and compliance
Utility companies must meet ever more stringent regulatory targets, performance incentives, and customer expectations. Bubble PPM brings transparent governance and evidence-based reporting, ensuring that investment decisions are aligned with strategic and compliance objectives.
Our advanced tools for capital tracking, forecasting, and benefit realisation, provide clear oversight of cost performance and value delivery, including:
- Centralised quality assurance controls
- Integrated financial and capital tracking
- Risk management tools
- Workflow automation
- Program management
- Benefits and performance benchmarking
Technology and program management
Utility companies can require a special type of process management.
Technology projects and programs may need to be connected, but managed separately, through their own development gates.
Bubble PPM’s configurable entity hierarchy ensures investments are optimized, benefits are tracked and dependencies are clear.
Track costs and investments
With over 25 years of portfolio & project management best practices built into the platform, our utility company configuration helps senior leaders to prioritize and link the critical activities of all their teams.
With clear links to strategy, teams can organize a coherent approach to tracking capital or technology investments towards regulatory targets or performance incentives.
Improve project delivery forecasts
Bubble PPM facilitates the active management of priority actions, risk assessments, and potential project outcomes.
It enables project teams to highlight, and justify, the key areas where more data are required to mitigate uncertainty and provides senior management with insight into potential best and worse case scenarios.
Monitor risks throughout the project lifecycle
The majority of cost overruns in the utilities sector get introduced during the early phases of delivery.
Create snapshotted ‘change record logs’ for things like Risks & Issues to help you adhere to requirements for quality systems such as Outcome Delivery Incentives (ODI), System Operator Innovation Incentives (SO), Balancing Services Incentive Scheme (BSIS) etc.
Task driven reporting
The complexity of managing projects in the utilities sector can make it hard to know who’s responsible for what. Bubble PPM allows each user to view their personal tasks and responsibilities according to the projects, departments or portfolios they work with.
Upcoming activities can be reviewed, shared or re-assigned with ease. Completed activities get rolled up to the system level for automated status reporting.
Manage regulator-defined metrics and KPIs
Eliminate the errors and inconsistencies of manually updated spreadsheets. Bubble PPM ensures full visibility and data transparency of your project or investments pipeline and associated priorities.
Dashboards and reports allow senior management to track and report progress towards any key or regulator-set milestones.
Track partner and supply chain insights
Managing supply chain risk helps utility companies to stay on track.
Bubble PPM allows you to incorporate supply chain insights, sub-project and program trackers, and dashboards into the heart of your process.
