DataTech Strategies
David Strand helps clients improve capital project performance by improving business processes and adopting leading technologies.
Utilities are being asked to adopt new tools faster than they can evaluate them. Hazen brings nearly eight decades of water industry engineering, management, and technology consulting to that challenge, helping you cut through the noise, clarify which technology investments are right for your organization, and ensure every initiative delivers measurable value. Strategic identification, use, and implementation of right-sized and future-ready data and technology integrations allows Hazen to provide critical insights into operations, capital improvement planning, and efficiently running the business.
Clear Guidance in a Digital Landscape
Before recommending solutions, we help clearly define your goals and outcomes and identify realistic and prioritized pathways to achieve them. Our team works with executive and operational stakeholders to identify problems, align on outcomes, and establish realistic priorities. Being solution and platform agnostic, our consultants and technologists follow the Hazen tenant of “Leverage Existing Assets First” (LEAF). This ensures technology investments are intentional, transparent, and directly tied to operational performance, regulatory responsibilities, and long-term organizational strategy.
With clarity on outcomes, we then help build the data and technology foundations needed to deliver them. Our approach focuses on reliable data, connected systems, and architectures your organization can grow into. The result is a foundation your team can trust and build on over time.
