What is operations intelligence?

Raw operational data is everywhere. Turning it into clear, actionable next steps, that’s operations intelligence. This blog exists to explore exactly how to do just that. We will explore translating crew logs, maintenance records, enterprise resource planning and other data types into actions that help operations leaders move the needle.

Why “345”?

345 (three forty-five) refers to 345 kV (kilovolts), the backbone voltage of the electric transmission system in Texas and across most of the United States. These 345 kV lines form the critical interstate highways of the electric grid moving massive amounts of power efficiently from generation sources to load centers.

The name is a direct nod to my background in energy delivery. Here, I am building and learning in public and sharing lessons from the field to help others create reliable operations intelligence systems.
