Grid Modernization: Beyond Hardware to Culture and Data

Modernization isn’t just swapping out transformers—it’s aligning people, processes, and data. Legacy IT/OT systems and siloed data make it hard to keep pace with decentralized generation and dynamic load patterns.

Here at KDM Engineering, we've seen utilities transform by implementing advanced distribution management systems (ADMS) and standardizing data governance. Field crews with tablets, real-time analytics, and integrated workflows make faster, safer decisions - and customers notice.

One of our clients is in the process of moving from paper-based operations to a fully digital platform. The result? Reduced operational risk, better safety, and improved reliability across teams.

What cultural or data hurdles have you faced on your grid modernization journey?
