The Director’s report notes that JCMUA is “working with the City more in-depth under shared services, including data sharing,” alongside references to fiber expansion and telematics in other resolutions. This suggests early-stage initiatives to integrate data systems across the Authority and the City, likely impacting SCADA, asset management, billing, GIS, and regulatory reporting. No specific platform or vendor is named for this integration in the minutes, so it appears to be in planning and coordination rather than procurement.For vendors, this is a pre-RFP signal of IT and OT integration work that may require middleware, secure data exchanges, dashboards, and analytics. Sellers offering SCADA integration, cybersecurity, data warehousing, and utility-specific analytics can engage now to understand how JCMUA wants to share and use data with City partners and propose architectures that leverage the new fiber backbone and fleet data systems highlighted elsewhere in the meeting.

This effort is likely tied to the fiber network expansion and may intersect with future smart water, AMI, or advanced analytics projects.
