Anmut

Gartner's research shows 58% of data leaders claim productivity gains from data and analytics investments, but only 35% can point to quantifiable value. That's the gap Anmut has been working to close since 2018, and why we're glad to be named a Sample Vendor in this year's Hype Cycle report. #dataROI #dataeconomics #gartner

Anmut's Defence Sector Lead, William Ponsonby, attended the Spearhead launch event in Cheltenham earlier this year. A proactive step from UK sovereign SMEs, and one Anmut is glad to see. More on our involvement with Spearhead to follow.

More sensors and more meters means more data – but data on its own doesn't reduce leakage or manage demand. The harder question is what to prioritise once you have it. Good to see James Miller on stage at Future Water Association's Leakage & Metering Conference at Severn Trent, working through exactly that with Rhys Durham. Thanks to the FWA team for pulling together two days worth attending.

We're proud to share that Anmut has been shortlisted for the DataIQ New Ways of Working with Data award. Together with a UK water utility, we conducted the first rigorous economic valuation of data assets in the UK water sector – evidencing that £53m of a £149m regulatory exposure is directly dependent on data quality. This is an industry with deep meaning for society and the environment. Yet investments in data have never been managed with the same rigour as investments in physical infrastructure. This work changes that. Treat data as a managed economic asset and you have the evidence to focus investment where it matters most. Real frontier work. Disruptive and challenging, which required hard work and expertise from our team. If you're working through similar questions – in water or any regulated sector – we'd welcome the conversation.

We're proud to have been named SME of the Year at the British Data Awards But we want to say something about what that means to us - because it's not really about us. It's about the problem we exist to solve. Most organisations are sitting on data that could transform how they operate. Not because they lack technology. Not because they lack talent. But because no-one has ever told them the value their data creates - and without that, it's impossible to know where to invest, what to fix, or what's genuinely at risk.   That's the hard problem Anmut was built to solve. And as a small, specialist team, we get to work on it with some of the most important and complex organisations in the world. At National Highways, we found that data accounts for £68.6bn of value created for the stakeholders who depend on England's strategic road network. That insight changed how the board viewed data investment - and we continue to help the organisation develop the tools and processes to manage data as an asset. Working for a UK utility, we identified that £53m of a £149m regulatory exposure was directly attributable to data quality - not hardware, but whether the data those sensors produce can be trusted. For an Australian utility, we demonstrated, a AUD 1.8m investment in meter data quality could unlock more than AUD 20m in value - and potentially defer billions in premature capital expenditure.    The intelligence we create changes how boards think about data, how capital gets allocated, how risk is managed, what opportunities are pursued, and how resilience is hard wired. And this is only going to matter more. As AI moves from pilot to enterprise scale, the organisations that can't say what their data is worth - or whether it can be trusted - will struggle to realise any of the promise.    This award belongs to the Anmut team, and to every client who trusted us to do this work alongside them. There's a lot more to do. We're just getting started.   If you’d like to read more about us and what we do, see the full article below. #DataAssetManagement #DataStrategy #ValueOfData #DataQuality #BDA #BritishDataAwards #SMEOfTheYear

Great contribution from James Miller at today's Future Water Cyber Resilience Conference. The point James makes about financial valuation of data assets is one we see consistently in regulated sectors – boards respond to risk exposure in financial terms. That's where the case for data investment gets made.

Great post from Luca Gamberi, our Senior Solution Architect, on a significant shift in how the UK public sector treats data. The short version: - HM Treasury's updated Balance Sheet Framework now includes a Data Valuation Framework - Data is formally subject to the same asset management governance as buildings, equipment, and software - The framework establishes a valuation hierarchy – favouring use-based and impact-based methods over cost-based approaches - That hierarchy matters: cost tells you what was spent, not what was created Worth reading Luca's full post for the detail on why this isn't a minor technical update – and what it means for practitioners in regulated sectors. --- https://lnkd.in/eUdZx8uU
