We developed the Decisio™ platform to harness AI and other ground-breaking cloud technology advances to support infrastructure businesses make better, faster and more coordinated planning decisions across short-, medium-, and long-term planning horizons.
AI-assisted decision-making based on our Decisio™ Decision Processor helps improve end-user services, supports the development and delivery of government policies and regulations, and helps deliver predictable top-end investor returns while embedding critical sustainability and resilience into your strategy and day-to-day operating model.
Plug in Decisio™ and see how it elevates your planning and execution effectiveness.
We help our customers navigate a profitable transition to resilient, low-carbon business models using proven AI-assisted decision-making
Our Decisio™ decision processor helps build the most complete understanding of our customer’s business and the broader ecosystem in which they operate.
This enables Decisio™ to help make and coordinate strategic, tactical, and operational decisions across the customer’s organisation (finance, operations, engineering etc) to more reliably achieve their defined business objectives and to adapt effectively to connected changes and risks.

Navigating the substantial uncertainty, complexity of interlinked systems, and sheer scale of operating and modernising critical infrastructure presents a risk of decision paralysis in the face of unclear trade-offs, unintended impacts, and delivery barriers that can undermine the transition to Net Zero.
Cloud for Net Zero goes beyond static carbon emissions reporting, and rapidly prescribes, maps, evaluates your optimal pathway to net zero considering physical, operational and regulatory constraints.
Cloud for Net Zero provides AI-assisted solutions that provides interactive decision support to simulate and compare future pathways to net zero than minimise risk and maximise opportunity.
Bioresources can significantly contribute to achieving net zero carbon targets by offsetting carbon emissions through the production of renewable energy such as biomethane, which can decarbonise the gas network or provide fuel for transport fleets. The opportunities in this sector are driven by technological advancements, market development, and regulatory compliance, which collectively enhance the sustainability and economic efficiency of bioresources operations.
Cloud for Bioresources creates a digital representation of your bioresource value chain and builds an understanding of interdependencies across physical and non-physical assets involved in the transport, treatment, energy recovery, disposal and recycling processes. Our innovative connected systems planning approach is essential to so that bioresources can fulfil their potential role in supporting sustainable decarbonisation.
Energy infrastructure transformation is one of the biggest challenges of our time. This is driven by the perfect storm of historic under-investment, the urgent need to decarbonise, the need to protect infrastructure against climate change, significantly increased public expectations of environmental protection and remediation, and underlying population growth and urbanisation.
This is a multi-stakeholder challenge that requires a whole energy system planning and delivery approach, as well as collaboration, to align the interests of all stakeholders in a way that is transparent, evidence-based, fair and inclusive.
Cloud for Energy Transition can help us navigate the financial, policy, technology and operational complexities of planning and delivering the required infrastructure changes. It also enables us to adapt to changing realities as we progress down this path, while ensuring that we take all stakeholders on this journey.
Water and sewerage companies must provide the very best service to customers whilst protecting and improving the environment, achieving public confidence and realising value for shareholders: a multi-faceted function threatened by historically sub-optimal investment and higher pressure from regulators and the public.
This is a multi-stakeholder challenge that requires a whole systems planning and delivery approach, as well as collaboration, to align the interests of all stakeholders in a way that is transparent, evidence-based, fair, and inclusive.
Cloud for Water empowers you to navigate the financial, policy, technology, and operational complexities of planning and delivering the required infrastructure changes to ensure resilience and sustainable water systems, while ensuring you can adapt to changing realities as we progress down this path and take all stakeholders on this journey.
The world’s expectations of cleaner energy, cleaner water, and more sustainable materials & products is driving the next industrial revolution, necessitating new value chains, tools & technologies.
Given the criticality of accurate, timely and connected decisions in this dynamic environment, a step-change in decision-making capability is required – one that leverages AI while ensuring suitable controls and governance.
Decisioᵀᴹ provides the decision intelligence platform and application suite to serve the connected value chains and stakeholders that will determine the long-term sustainability of the broader economy.
