Predictor Platform Delivers More Value than Ever Before

Good afternoon all. Welcome to this webinar today. Excited to see all of you, and, got a good team in here to take care of you today. So predictive platform delivers more value than ever before. Right? I think, it definitely does. And through the course of the session, you're gonna see the different aspects of what it can do for you and how it can possibly help your counsels move forward. We will start today with the acknowledgment of country. Right? Obviously, we wanna sort of pay our respects to elders past and present and emerging. We'd like to acknowledge the custodians of the First Nations people around the world and encourage all of us to continuously learn from the history and teachings in caring for our country. A bit of, the agenda today. We'll start with a bit of housekeeping, and then we'll move on to some introductions. But then we'll move on to the value of what the Predictor platform gives to you. The evolving Predictor platform will also share some new insights on what the Predictor platform is coming up with. We'll also give you some real world examples in terms of what concerts are doing today with the platform. We'll also share what a typical implementation looks like in your work. Right? And then we'll finish off with some conclusions and q and a. We love your questions and comments. Please use the q and a function on your screen to drop in questions or comments during the session. We've allocated time at the end to discuss these. You can also click on icons, know more about the presenters as well today. And if you do wanna learn more, we're always happy to give us a call or request a demonstration so that we can deep dive into some other things that we'll be talking today. A bit of introduction on the presenters today, Rex Chen, who's our senior consultant. He's been with Brightly for a year now. Rex has got immense knowledge on Predictor, and he's worked with a number of concerts across Australia in helping them do a number of transitions and getting to use the tool better. So Rex will be taking this for the session today. I'm Maniprish. I manage customers in New South Wales, Queensland, NTNWA. I've been working with customers like yourself more than ten years now. We're helping you through your digital transformations. And I've got Michael Skoller who's an account manager as well. He takes care of Victoria, South Australia, and New Zealand as well for you. So Michael's been in the business for a year now, and he he'll do the same for you as well. And just quickly moving on to why are we here today. And I just wanna sort of just give a quick overview on the three topics that we'll be looking at today. The asset planning process. Right? We do understand that as counsels, you need to look at a number of things, which involves asset inventory, your condition assessment, your demand forecasting, your life cycle cost analysis, your risk management. Now there are a number of areas where you know you need help. And through the course of this webinar, we'll be deep diving and into a number of areas on this. Our digitalization, we do understand your challenges that you face today. A number of concerts are still using Excel sheets to do a number of things. Our aim is to make sure that we help you to get a smooth and seamless transition to, you know, a digital transform transform world using the predictive tool. And through the course of the session, you know, we'll be showing you that as well. And the third aspect is, you know, there's a resource of skill shortage. We always know that councils currently have to do more with less. There is a lot of resources churn that's going on. Obviously, people moving to different places, different councils. And we all know that, you know, asset teams do have a number of challenges that, you know, that they have to face in terms of facing the skills or resource shortage. And we'll probably help you in terms of how the predictive tool can help you with that as well and, through the course of the session. With that, I will possibly pass on to my teammate, Rex, who will take you forward. Thank you, Rex. Thank you, Manny. Hello, everyone. Really good to have all of you here and checking the attendee list. Believe I've met already. If not, look, I'm Rex. I help councils and other asset intensive organizations like yours with their long term asset planning. And I'm also a strong believer, you might hear me say this quite a few times, I'm a strong believer in that if we want to get the most value out of our assets, we really need to see our assets as the value that it provides rather than just the physical object itself. Okay, so that was a little bit about me. And before we start, I'd actually like to know a little bit from you guys too. I'm quite curious how everyone is using PredictUp. Most of you I believe on this call are current PredictUp users, or in general how most of you are making long term plans for your assets. I just have one question for everyone. How often are you required to model your asset scenarios? And on your screen now you should be able to see a poll go through. I would just like to sort of find out because I've spoken with quite a few people who are running their capital scenarios almost daily to work in conjunction with their product project teams. I've also spoken with people who've only sort of used it once a year and for their annual plan only. So I'm quite curious what the split is, how everyone is using a predictor or using any other tool in terms of planning and just something to build my curiosity and also help us plan for a plan our products better. We want to make sure that it's suitable for your needs. I can see we're about fifty percent response rate. I might leave this question up for another few seconds. So if you haven't submitted your answer, please do. Right. The question is how often are you required to model your assets scenarios? Okay, a few more coming in. And then you will also get to see everyone's answers as well once you've selected your answer or your response. A little bit more, almost seventy percent response rate. If you haven't responded yet, I'm going to give you the last few seconds, think through that and let's find out. Okay. So looking at the response, the majority is definitely yearly. That doesn't surprise me, where most councils are legislatively required produce an asset plan every year. But the benefit, I would say, terms of running a lot of these scenarios almost weekly or monthly, as you can see some of the respondents are, is that you should be ideally planning your day to day activities with the conscious intention of how that's gonna actually impact your whole asset network in the long term. So the more often you're running, models or simulations, the more up to date your decision your decisions can be in terms of what information they're based on. And also generally the best practice is whenever you have new information or whenever you need a new scenario, you should be running either with Predictor or with something else to create another scenario to help you understand, well, where where is the organization heading in terms of our assets, and what can we do to make sure that we maintain our track and continue to grow in a sustainable way. Okay. Well, thank you for that. And I know also everyone on this call here, we're on this webinar here, we're all experts in strategic asset management. And look, in my opinion, if you understand a topic really, really well, you should be able to explain it or simplify that topic down to its most simplest form and then explain it in one sentence. So before we get into anything else, I'd actually like to share my personal take on strategic asset management. Right? Strategic asset management to me in one sentence is making conscious decisions without assets and our current strategy. Making conscious decisions without assets and our current strategy. Or what is a conscious decision, right? A conscious decision to me is you fully understand the bigger picture of the full impact of that decision and you consciously accept those outcomes. And in terms of the bigger picture here in our asset planning, well, we're looking at our costs. So this image here on the left hand side, we've got our life cycle costs that includes CapEx and OpEx. We've got our backlog, which is still a cost even though we're not incurring it because they're they're assets that we took that we should have been treating and we're not. And then on the right hand side, the bigger picture includes the experiences, how I put it. So on the top right hand side, we've got the risk levels, which is really the experience of the organization providing the asset. How reactive are we? What kind of risks are we taking on? What's our experience as the asset owner? And on the bottom right hand side, we have service levels, which really is the experience of the community or whoever is the end user of those assets. What is the condition? What's the capacity? What's the functionality? What are some of the benefits that they can actually get out of these assets, and that's also something that forms part of this bigger picture. So as a super quick review, because I know most of you here are already experts in using Predictor. You probably use it a lot more than I do. But a super quick review here for some of the people who might not use it as often. Well, the whole purpose of the Predictor platform is to be able to run multiple scenarios of this bigger picture based on different strategy assumptions. Right? Remember conscious decisions is made with our current assets and our current strategy. You change your strategic assumptions and then you run multiple scenarios of, well, if I increased my budget, what does that mean in terms of how much risk I can mitigate or how much better service I can provide? If I change my service level targets, what is the level of budget that's required? Does that mean if I keep the same budget, I'm gonna have more backlog? What happens to my maintenance costs? What happens to my capital cost? What happens to the risk profile? Right? All these things. So each piece of that puzzle is interconnected. They can't really be considered in isolation. And the purpose of Predictor as a tool is for us to be able to consistently simulate for the long term, right, five, ten, twenty years down the track of what each one of these pieces of the puzzle look like so we can better view the bigger picture and therefore make a conscious decision. Okay? So, Manny earlier as he introduced, he promised that we would go through the value of the Predictive platform. So most of you, or some of you here might still be using Predictive Desktop. These are some of the new features that we'd like to talk about. And then after that, I'm actually gonna jump into predictor platform and talk about the evolving predictor platform where we can actually look at some of the features that are still in preview, some of the some of the features already released, some of the features in preview, and also give you a glimpse of what is coming, right, what is brightly cooking up for asset investment planning. So it should be quite an exciting session. Again, if you have questions, please leave them in the q and a. We will try to address all of them towards the end and permitting. Okay. Alright, so moving straight into the new Predictor platform. Right, so one of the main first benefits you get is automated reporting. We now have multiple reports built into the platform, whereas prior you had to run simulations, export them maybe into a BI tool and run your own reporting. Now it's all built accessible in the web and you can actually invite others to the same workspace by sharing a link to them, giving them view only access or editing access, full admin access, and then they can actually see all these reports that you generate. Earlier when Manny talked about why are we here, right? One of the first themes that we noticed when talking to a lot of you guys was that we really wanted to democratize the planning process a lot more and get finance involved, get sustainability involved, get service planning involved, and really have everyone be able to quickly give inputs in the planning process and also receive feedback on what kind of what how did their assumptions or how did some of their plans change the overall bigger picture and then really be able to collaborate that way. All right, so stepping through a few of these reports, we're going go through a little bit more detail as we go through the actual platform. But just to step through at a high level, we've got reports on lifecycle costs. We've got reports on the backlog, which is something that was highly requested back then of being able to really understand in a scenario what are the specific backlog elements that we're missing out on, what is not being treated and why. We've got reports on service levels and how that relates to funding, so you can look at your asset conditional performance quite easily across different scenarios. And really the purpose of this is to find what I call the sweet spot of spending. Right? You don't wanna underspend that you under deliver on your service level promises, but you also don't wanna overspend to a point where you're hitting diminishing returns and you're not actually getting as much return on investment from the funding that you're putting into your assets. But that's a really useful and straightforward report to use when you have multiple scenarios, put them side by side, and you see the effectiveness of how far does your budget go. There's also reports on risk. I wanna point out here, you might have noticed on most reports on the left hand side, there's a sidebar that's built into all of these reports, and this is gonna give you the ability to slice and dice the data, filter it by asset types, asset locations, asset classes, search for specific assets. So you're able to really quickly slice a particular report into a subset if you just wanted to view that, and that has been quite useful for a lot of councils that are currently using that feature as well, because they can run a sort of a bigger asset cohort all at once and then just review, the particular sub cohorts if you may, through this filtering mechanism. You'll see most reports actually have that built in. And finally, of course, there's reports on the actual work program, which we'll get into a little bit more as well of what the program looks like, how is the budget distributed, and then later on you'll see that there's more features that we were bringing for the actual works program creation. One more thing as well, everything that you simulate, every scenario that you create in Predictor platform, you're able to get a results feed, which is essentially a link that you can click a button and you generate a results feed. And this link can be directly consumed by either a GIS tool or a BI tool. You can just subscribe to it from the other end and all the data is there and you'll be able to play with all the outputs that you've sort of simulated and obtained in your own playground. Okay? And last but not least, the ability to so in the questions, any way to add mapping to the dashboards, an ability to interact with the capital plans on a GIS or geospatial view. So in here, you can actually bring in multiple portfolios into a single view. And I will also jump in and show you this a little bit more. But don't worry about if the screenshot is too small there, actually step through the tool and show you this component specifically. Speaking of, why don't we just start that process now and I'll step you through the beginning of some of the new changes that we've made in Predictive Platform, right, so the evolving Predictive Platform. And just so you know, some of the features that I'm going to be sharing, well some of them are fully released and available, whereas some others are still in preview. You're getting a first glance at what is coming and what is about to be available as well in Predictive platform. Okay, without further ado, you should now be able to see my screen shared. One thing that I would want to call out is you can resize the different windows on this webinar platform. If have any problems viewing it or if it's too small, just shout out in the q and a or one of our moderators will reach out to you by direct message and help you out there. Okay. All right. So going straight into it, what you're looking at here is the new ModelBuilder all in Predictor platform and this is all ran in a single browser. So you don't have to install any desktop applications anymore. You don't have to maintain it. It's just in the browser and it receives an updates usually biweekly with new features, bug fixes, security patches, all that, all those things. Before I dive into the model builder, obviously, you're able to invite others into the same process and set them up either as a viewer only or a full on, editor and admin. Alright, this will let you essentially, collaborate on the model building process and also view some of the output that are being created. In terms of model building, the process is fully collaborative. So you can have someone that's full time working on the lifecycle strategy looking at assumptions around well, how is my asset deteriorating? What are some of the treatments I can manage? And then someone else at the same time working on the financial strategy, putting in different scenarios of inflation rates, of funding buckets, funding scenarios. And finally, where it all comes together is the simulation page where you're really bringing in picking and choosing sets of asset data, right? So our best understanding of our current assets and our strategy. So that includes our life cycle strategy and financial strategy. And then running a simulation for a particular scenario so that once we've tested out all these scenarios that we're interested in, we're able to make conscious decisions with our current assets and our current strategy. Right? Okay, so I won't go too much in detail in terms of the actual model builder. Most of the features here you're already familiar with if you're using desktop, right, you're essentially setting up a model framework, assigning how these assets deteriorate, and then creating a decision matrix within the tool to essentially systemize that strategy component, right? Whatever the strategy is, we try our best to write it down in the platform so you can consistently make decisions that is based on that strategy and then just change some assumptions throughout the way. So if you're already familiar with Predictor, which I believe most of you in this webinar are, it'll look really familiar and the workflow is the same. It's just in a nicer, neater, more user friendly user interface. What I would like to call out is this model builder is released. It's an opt in preview only clients who are using Predictive platform. So if you want to opt in to that, please reach out to Manny or Michael. But in terms of features, we are we are essentially on par with what desktop has. There's a few edge features which only a few councils or a few clients are using, which is not yet migrated into this, web builder. That's something that you can always decide to continue using the desktop application because one of the things that, I would also like to mention is that this is fully backwards compatible with the desktop applications as well. There was something I was speaking with one of the councils in New South Wales, and they were onboarding new users to do their planning process, to the asset planning process. They are using Predictor platform and the model builder in the web. They also have some gurus or some people who have a lot more experience and are just more familiar with the desktop. They're still gonna use that and that's fine as well. So you can collaborate building out scenarios simultaneously in the web and in desktop. Okay, so jumping forward, one of the things I did want to call out is that in building models, there's now ability to create templated models. That means essentially we as Brightly have created these templates for these asset categories that has all the deterioration curves, all the treatment decision criteria, all the unit costs, all pre populated. And it's really just a quick start way to arrive at a budget level that you wanna test out. So all you have to do as a user is load in your own data based on the template that's provided and then put in the financial budget and then you are able to immediately run three scenarios of unconstrained current budget and zero budget scenario without doing anything else. Right? These are some of the template models available currently, and we'll continuously add to this over time as well. Okay? So that's all I wanted to show around the actual model build up part of it. Earlier I shared some of the reports with you in screenshot view. I'd just like to quickly step through some of that. And again, I won't go through too much detail, but I did want to call out that all of those scenarios you create, you're able to quickly view and compare them in this sort of overview page, in the workspace and really look at in this case of a current budget, increased budget, I've got increased budget with reduced risks on changing different scenarios. And then in this case, I have also a lot of different reports that I can run. But first of all, for each specific scenario, right, that I create, I'm able to look at a whole set of reports around service planning, life cycle, performance planning, work planning, risk. All of these reports are available immediately as soon as the simulation is ran. And then, I also have comparison reports where I can select multiple scenarios and really look at, well, what is the comparison between spending, between risk, between service levels, and then run some of those reports as well. I won't have time obviously to go through all of them, so I'll go through my favorite ones and starting with net strategy comparison. So this is one of the ones that I really enjoy using because at a glance you're able to see between different scenarios what is the net strategy cost. Because in this case, for example, if you're looking at the current budget, the next fifteen years, I'm spending fifty one million dollars If I increase it to seventy, so I increase it by about twenty million dollars actually save that twenty million dollars back in maintenance costs. So these are kind of the exact the sort of scenarios you can create. And finally, understand that, well, by increasing our budget by twenty million, we're actually not increasing our overall net strategy cost that much. Just for fun as well, I've put in a no optimization scenario. So essentially turning off the predictor optimization engine, and you can find that with basically the same spend, we're left with assets with a worse service level without optimization. So again, some of the benefits of the Predictor platform, right? We typically find one to five percent of capital efficiency through the optimization process. Now finally, I've also got a reduced risk scenario. Here you can see that with the same spend, the net strategy cost is a lot higher and the overall service level is also worse. But the trade off you're making when I switch to this other view around the overall risk levels is that you can see with the same budget level, we're able to almost half the amount of monetized risk that we're holding in our network of assets by focusing on reducing risk. So again, giving us all this information around what is a conscious decision that I want to take? Do I want assets that are overall in better service level or do I want to focus on those high criticality assets and make sure that we're targeting those? Speaking of risk, another favorite one of mine is the actual risk analysis. In here, can drill through a particular scenario and look at exactly what risks are being missed out on in a particular scenario. So let's say you are creating all these scenarios and someone comes in and says, well, we need to actually cut the budget by ten percent. Show me a new scenario. You can produce this risk analysis after reducing the budget by ten percent and show them exactly which assets are being missed out on in that in that specific, I've been logged out in that specific, scenario and really see, well, what assets are not being treated in in that new budget level with ten percent less spend. Okay? So going back into it, peg two, I can go through look at specific high risk levels and then drill through to specific assets in that list and show them, okay, we can cut the budget by ten percent, but it's going to be at a trade off of all these assets that are still going to be high risk. Are we okay with that? We want to consciously accept that. Right? And then there's more reports which I won't go through in in detail. This one is on asset lifecycle. I just wanted to show you as well. There's all those filters are available on the left hand side for most of these reports, and you'll be able to run these run these reports and slice and dice the outputs. One thing that I did forget to mention though, is for every scenario that you create, right, there's the results feed which I mentioned earlier. And this is actually quite useful in creating a digital asset management plan. One of the plans you can actually go and see is the Nielandberg Council's plan. They've published their templated digital asset management plan actually for the public to view. So you can actually connect your predictor outputs directly through the results feed through a template of digital asset management plan. And then instead of writing a new plan every year or you have that template already, you just regenerate all your data, update the link, and then you have a new asset management plan that's interactive as well for all your constituents to view. So that's something, yeah, be sure to check out after this webinar as well. Okay, the last part I wanted to show was around the capital program. And this is where in a single page we're able to view the entire list of treatments that is being recommended from predictor, right, in a map or in a geospatial view. So what I'm looking at here to explain is three different asset cohorts. I've got roads in orange, I've got footpath in green, I've got stormwater assets in blue, and then this is the next fifteen year plan for these assets. And if I reduce down it to year by year view, you can see exactly what the plan is to treat different assets in different years. And what you can see is that while it's well and good that I have a predictor optimized timing of my treatments, it might not make as much sense for the actual residents there because I might be digging up a pavement in year one just to revisit that same spot and shut down the roads to fix the stormwater assets in year two. The way you can actually do is extend out the extend out the planning horizon and then look at what has been included in these three years. And I can either one, go in here manually select a few assets to bundle together into a single treatment. Right? So after this, I've selected a set of assets that I can now add to a add to a phase or there's this feature that is also in preview called auto packager that essentially allows you to bundle them automatically based on specific attributes, such as corridor ID or if you have anything that can sort of signal that particular assets, even though cross asset class, can actually be bundled together because they're they're close by to each other or they have a specific relationship with each other, and that's something, that I'm sure will save a lot of people quite a lot of time as well. In terms of band features, right, we're definitely hoping to enhance this more down the track as well. But at this stage, it's only based on attributes grouping and then we are going to certainly extend that functionality out to other types of grouping as well. Who knows? Maybe we can have a graph search that also looks at the actual physical relations in terms of location between assets and then link them up. So these are some of the things that are planned, not committed. So I'm not allowed to say that it's committed. They're just some of the directions that we are heading in terms of product. Okay. So whether you've automatically bundled some of these projects together or you've went through and manually created all your capital program through manual bundling, This view is what I would call the human element of optimization, right? If earlier in Predicta what we're doing is essentially, you know, optimizing the overall timing of all these treatments in a computer optimized way. This is where we bring everyone together in the same room and really discuss, well, what what do we want to do with all our applicable works, and do we wanna move them around, and what really makes sense for the council and for the community. And in this case, I'm from Brisbane, by the way, and what it's also really useful for is if you have super important major projects that people really wanna advance, or you can drag them into an earlier date and just show that, okay, well, instead of doing that in two thousand thirty two, if we did that in twenty twenty seven and have ways to connect. What other treatments do we need to bring out in that process? And the cool thing about this is everything that you do in here in terms of manual re optimizing, the human optimization, you can export all of this into a force rule and then re consume it in that modeling process as well to essentially say, well, I've locked in my next three year or four year plan. This is it. And then ask predictor to rerun those simulations for the next end of fifteen, twenty years and look at, well, what are some of the potential risks that I've introduced? What how does my backlog change based on all these changes that I've made manually? And then just test it and again, right, have all the information there needed to make a conscious decision. Okay. Well, that was a walkthrough, a really quick walkthrough of some of the new features as well as some of the existing features and plan features inside Predictor. What I would want to call out as well is if anyone wants obviously some of the preview features, you reach out to Michael and Manny. But also if you would like to be a strategic partner with us, right, please reach out. Some of you on this webinar are already part of this process, so huge thanks for participating. What that essentially means is well, one, you get earlier access to some of the preview features and be able to provide feedback directly on those features. And also you'll be part of research sessions where we actually have our have our product team talk to you and interview you so that we can actually build and develop our software in a direction that works for you in the long term. Right? So if you're interested in that, please do do reach out to Michael or Manny and let us know. I'd be really keen to be collaborating with you down the track as well. Okay, so that was the walkthrough. Just to sort of summarize what we went through, right, what are some of the key benefits of moving to to predict the platform? Right? So if you need some time, resize your screen now as well. So we're back to the slides. Well, first of all, you get automated reports and they also come with asset filtering. So all those reports that we step through, we're now able to generate them and then have them automatically created, be able to share with anyone in the organization as long as they have access to Predicto. You're able to collaborate and invite any user to view and edit some of those portfolio simulations and really collaborate in that modeling process. It's easier to onboard new users, right? It's a modern UI. Something I didn't show you was on the bottom left hand side, you're able to access learning tools, knowledge base, learning videos to actually help you help new users onboard to use Predictor a lot better. And then also that cross portfolio view of all your different asset plans in one place to really execute efficient planning in a in a geospatial enabled way. Okay. So with that, that was all the content I wanted to take through take you guys through today. Hope you enjoyed it. Hope you found some of the new stuff quite exciting like I did. And I'm going to now pass it on to Michael Scolow to take you through the next part, which is predictor in the real world. Over to you, Michael. Good afternoon, everybody. Thanks, Rex. That was an awesome walkthrough and some really cool capabilities. I just wanna highlight that we do have a lot of questions that have been asked more than we were anticipating to answer. So if we don't get around to answering all of them, we will be in touch to have a conversation in the next couple of days. But there's two key items right now that I want to cover off predictor in the real world and what a typical implementation looks like. One of the questions that was asked was what was the name of the LG, feeding their results of their digital asset management plans? That was a really good question because it was a segue into a predictor in the real world. Rex, you did a really good job at demonstrating what internally a council does to develop their asset investment plans and the technology we make available to enable councils to achieve those goals. What I do want to share, let's see if technology works for me today, is what it looks like for a council to take that internal information that is delivered via the Predictive Platform SaaS solution and digitise it so it's available to constituents in the public. And Nilanvik is a really good council that we've worked with to to to further develop on what was, walked through today. So on the Nilumbix website, it is public facing. There is an asset management plan, within the site itself. And you can scroll down and you can launch the digital version of the asset plan. And it's twenty twenty five to two thousand thirty five. And the really cool thing about this technology is that it is delivered via Microsoft Power BI. Many councils already have access to this capability and us as Brightly are able to intertwine our two technologies together to make it public facing, which is really, really cool. So another question was around the frequency. Why would you, update the cadence of how how frequently would you update your asset investment or asset management plan? My answer to that would be as frequent as possible because the information should be consumed not only internally in the business, but externally when asked about what the current status of a portfolio is. And this highlights a dynamic instance of asset investment portfolio information being delivered to the public in a live situation. What's really cool is that it's it really has the same look and feel as predictor, obviously, because we've we've made it to display that way. But you also have really cool drill downs into a whole range of categories that Rex has already walked through as well. So if you don't want to see the asset portfolio view, you can zoom in and view the current state and conditions of council's current assets across all the different asset classes. This is really cool information as the constituents to find out how much effort a Council is putting into keeping their assets in a state of good repair, I guess, in a really good state. You can see all this information is public. So please, if you do have an opportunity after this presentation, do navigate across to the Nilumbic website. We might share that link in the following day so you can navigate yourself and review that information. So that's a really good real world example of predictor in the real I guess so. So that's cool. The other thing that I wanted to talk about what a typical implementation looks like, I guess it's not a one size fits all for us. What's important is that we understand why council are going down the asset investment portfolio planning journey. What what are your goals? Is it to achieve that once a year report that you need to submit to council? Is there an election cycle that's coming up and you're planning ahead for that development of that report? Some councils have mandated within themselves that they perform these reports more frequently than once a year, once a quarter. So we want to understand what your specific site needs are and work with you to run discovery around that and look at timing to deliver solution for that as well. And then we work on a one to one consultative basis and we really want to understand how far do you want the technology to go? Do you want it to go as far as Nielenbeck have taken it, right? Which is a really cool way to demonstrate that capability not only to the public but also to counsel executives that asset management is being taken seriously. So so, yeah, I think I've covered off, some of those, two two two key items there, and I'm gonna transition over to question and answers. Now I'm not sure how much time we have to cover off or if we have time to cover off a lot of the questions that are being asked, but I'm going to go through the list and I won't mention any names. So you're, an attendee, don't don't panic too much. So I'll just go through. Okay. So I might stop let's start from the bottom, Michael. Like, the first first in first out. Yeah? Ah. So Thank you, Rex. So so we're switch it. I'll I'll I'll repeat the question for you, Rex. So so that way Yep. Everyone's got If you're running these scenarios weekly or monthly, what works program is this informing? Maintenance operations or to course correct on capital renewal programs? Yeah. So I mean, it really depends, right? Ideally, it's whenever you have new information, you should be running a new scenario. One is just check, is is there anything outstanding or anything that we should be concerned about, whether it's with new asset data or new new assumptions, new climate scenarios. And so we've had councils that bring in their climate and population modeling in this process as well, which whenever they have new information, they're able to to model that in too. And also, of course, in terms of day to day operations, when you're when you've got a capital program, ideally, it's a living plan. So we're all doing strategic asset management. We're all creating plans. But remember, plans are there in case nothing changes, which is never the case. Right? So, we create a plan, and then we we adapt it throughout the process. And then in in some really edge cases, they've also been used reactively to react to external events such as flooding or other natural disasters or, I think this for one of them was like there was the errors toward Taylor Swift coming into town in a few years and what are some of the areas around the stadium where she's performing that we need to really update. So any new information or any new requirements is really a reason to go and accolade a new plan. The next I can read them. All good Michael. The next one is will we be able to add mapping to the dashboard? So first of all, hope you saw the the mapping capability that's built in. But on top of that results feed that I showed, you're able to export or essentially subscribe to all these simulation outputs from Predictor in a GIS interface. That's something that is quite easy to do and takes real quick, copy paste into ArcGIS. But on top of that we also are able to provide custom reporting where if there's a specific requirement to view different scenarios or report different scenarios on a map view and really compare where are the risks, what are the condition levels, we've done that before. I'm trying to think of some of the councils that have that actually published and I can't think of any on top of my head, but, that's also, available as well if you really want a dashboard with mapping capability built in and other bits and widgets that reports based on that map view. Hopefully that answers that questions as well. So the next one that we have are the edge features in desktop, things like force treatment. So as I mentioned during the walkthrough, there are some edge features that are not fully migrated into the web as of today into predictive platform as of today at Slim desktop. Pause treatments is not one of them. You can have pause treatments, exclusion rules, all of that in the web model build up. The edge features are really some of the advanced capabilities which we haven't seen that many clients use, so we haven't prioritized those, but that doesn't mean they're not coming across. And keep in mind, so all of these features, if you're on Predictive Platform or if you're upgrading to Predictive Platform, you're able to just opt in to preview and really see for yourself. And what I would recommend is if you're interested in transitioning into that, just reach out and show us what you're currently doing Predictive Desktop and we'll be able to quickly ascertain as to whether that is fully covered with the Web Model Builder or not. Okay. All right. The next one. I've noticed that there are different infographic diagrams in Predictor. Are they customizable or are they predetermined based on data being shown? Are there any other chart types beside column line and pie charts? So all of the reports that you saw, the ones that I showed are preconfigured templates, so they are created to match a specific purpose so that we are essentially hopefully addressing most of needs for asset planners in terms of what kind of reports they wanna be seeing, whether it's overall asset life cycle, whether it's budget scenarios, funding distributions, risk levels, the actual work program, backlog, that should all be in there. There's no There's there's no customizability in terms of the out of the box reports. If you do want to create your own customized reports, as I mentioned earlier, it's really easy to just have a simulation result feed be generated and from there on you subscribe to that. You can create whatever charts you want in your own BI environment. That also even works in Excel, so you can actually just export all the simulation outputs and then, run some of your custom reporting in Excel as well if you really want to. But what we found is that in the out of the box reports, it should cover ninety percent or ninety nine percent really of the use cases of the types of analytics that you would want to see. Again, today I've only showed like four reports out of a lot more that is available out of the box. Okay. All right. So the next one, can you please provide a timeframe on the web version? We have desktop and we're starting to use and we're interested in a web version. As I said, this is already available if you have Predict the Platform. If you don't have Predict the Platform, speak to Manny or Michael. It's fully it's been used by our clients already who are who have implemented Predictor in the recent months and recent year, and there are also clients who have this feature turned on terms of preview. It's it's available for anyone who wants to try it today. We just haven't, I guess, officially said, hey, this is this is predictive web model building. It's it's available as of today and hopefully that answers the question. If you're interested, reach out on that please. The next one, so what is the timeline of this when it will be officially launched? So I'm guessing you're asking about the timeline of everything that I showed. So as I said, everything in there is in preview only. So you have to opt in and it's available today. There are also other features that we continuously develop for Predictor. If you don't know already, Brightly is part of a Siemens entity and Siemens has been putting in an enormous amount of investment every year into Brightly to make sure that we build the most advanced, the most cutting edge asset management tools for all kinds of industries, not just councils, not just the main industries that Brightly operates in. We really want to be the best horizontal offering in terms of asset management. So there's going to be constant improvements and other features that gets released into the the software. And and yeah, and hopefully you'll you'll be able to see that start to roll out in the coming months as well. But the short answer is everything I show, it's it's it's launched, but it's opt in only. And if you and and we will continue to update software as time goes on as well. There's a lot of activity happening. I wish I could share more. I'm not actually allowed to share any more than that, but all I know is there is a lot of exciting features that are there and available. I've got three more to go and we're almost on time, so hopefully I can address all of them. Four more to go. How do we opt in to use the model builder in the web? That's one that's already asked. To opt in, reach out to Manny or reach out to Michael and you'll they'll be able to, help you with that. Next one is, is there a managed service that we can use to help collate our data and develop our investment strategies? And I'll leave that one to Michael, to you to answer. Yeah, thanks Rex. Good question. Yes, absolutely. Depending on what it is a council needs to achieve, a program can be developed small, medium or large, spanning across various cohortsasset classes. A lot of the time we do find because it is a once year, the high percentage of the attendees, I think it was just over sixty percent, do run some of these processes once a year. At times there have been instances where a Council might be caught off guard with employees coming and going and upskilling in that space. So a managed service is a good way to bridge that knowledge gap where we can come in, run your portfolios based on your data extracts from your EAM solutions and that will enable you to publish them as per Council's business requirements. So yeah, it just comes down to the size against small, medium and large and how many cohorts. And obviously the more I guess you might have a requirement to do two this year, two next year and one in year three. Obviously costs can be spread over a longer period of time as well. I think we are getting close to time. About three minutes left. Sorry. I was muted earlier. I wanted to add something to Michael's Michael's set. Yeah. So one of the things that whether it's councils or other organizations they really appreciate about working with with Brightly is that we have the infrastructure in terms of people to easily scale up and down. So if they ever have changes to to their organization and they they need someone to fill in from the bench, and Brightly serves as a really strong bench and insurance plan, to to scale up and down in terms of resources in asset management quite easily. I'll try and address one or two more. IREX with the new predictor cloud would to cross asset category optimization. Trying to read the question right there. So in the map view that you saw, that is all different asset categories coming in together. In there you can put in different budgets that are only allowed to be used for specific asset categories, and then in there you can see what the overall impact is from bundling on those assets, on those asset category budgets. There's no automatic rebalancing of the budgets, but you can quite easily run multiple scenarios of different budget levels. And this is this is something that I think was a bit of an advanced, use case in terms of building a cross portfolio model in Predictor. It is actually achievable with has been achievable for a long time. It's just fairly advanced in the sense that you had to really build out the relationships between service levels across these asset classes. So if you're really interested in that, yeah, please reach out. We can we can help you with that. But there's multiple approaches to cross asset category optimization. And then just on that as well, again, I'm not allowed to say more, but we are also bringing in a lot more advanced features in this space. So watch this space. Is that all the time that we have? Yeah. I think we're one minute away. Yep. We got a minute left. Okay. So one last question then. My organization uses Brightly as asset register, but does not have any modeling tools. We switched to Predictor. Will we still need Brightly or will it just be Predictor using both? So, in short, Predictor is an AIP tool, which is your asset management tool, asset investment planning tool. It's a separate tool that you can quite easily bring into the overall solution. You still need, an asset register. As I've shown earlier, Predictor consumes data from various data sources and that one of them would be your asset register or enterprise asset management pool. Okay. Hopefully, that answers that. Alright. We are right on time now. Thank you, to everybody who attended the webinar today. As, Rick suggested, feel free to reach out to me and Michael if there are any additional questions or things that you would like to get a deep dive on. This is available today, so we are definitely looking forward to all of you, you know, migrating to Predictive Cloud and enjoying all the benefits that that's more the other concepts already getting today. So thank you again for your attendance today, looking forward to seeing you all soon. Thank you. Cheers.
