Stuck in workarounds with Cartegraph / OpenGov Asset Management?
Stop fighting your software and start running your utility. MentorAPM is designed specifically for water and wastewater utilities—so your workflows, data model, and reporting match real utility operations. Make the switch safely with a phased plan and clean-data approach.
Who this is for
The reality: utility teams need utility systems
Where general public works systems struggle for utilities
- Linear assets and distributed networks need more than a generic GIS asset registry
- Condition, criticality, and risk must drive CIP—not just work order volume
- Crews need fast, consistent field workflows, not admin-heavy processes
- Reporting must satisfy both operations and leadership with confidence
Common reasons utilities explore alternatives
- Struggling to align field execution with asset strategy
- Low adoption due to friction and complexity
- Difficulty producing leadership-ready dashboards without manual work
- Concern that utility-specific innovation isn’t the priority
How MentorAPM is different
Built for water and wastewater from the outset
- Utility-aligned asset hierarchy and lifecycle tracking
- Maintenance programs and inspections designed for utility assets
- Decision support to prioritize risk and plan investments
- Implementation approach focused on adoption
Make the Switch plan
A safe, proven path:
- Discovery & mapping (2–4 weeks): asset model, work history, inspections, integrations
- Pilot area rollout (4–8 weeks): one department or one plant, proving the workflow end-to-end
- Scale rollout (12-20+ weeks*): remaining areas + reporting + adoption training
- Optimization (ongoing): refine maintenance programs, dashboards, governance
*Actual scale rollout timeline will depend on required integrations.
What we migrate (typical):
- Asset inventory + hierarchy
- Work order history + labor/materials
- PM programs, inspections, condition assessments
- MRO/Parts Inventory
- Attachments/photos (where available)
- Integrations (GIS, finance/ERP, SCADA where applicable)
MentorLens™ Migration Accelerator
MentorLens™: Clean data in. Faster adoption out.
Switching systems shouldn’t mean dragging incomplete registers and missing attributes into a new platform. MentorLens™ accelerates migrations by helping utilities find what’s missing, fix what’s incomplete, and establish a trustworthy baseline before (and during) go-live.
With MentorLens™, utilities can:
- Capture assets missing from the current digital register
- Complete baseline condition assessments to start with usable condition data
- Validate and fill missing attributes (type/class, size, material, install year/age, location, critical fields)
- Standardize asset data so hierarchy, reporting, and workflows work on day one
- Reduce migration risk by minimizing duplicates, unknowns, and broken GIS crosswalks
What you get with MentorAPM
- Faster crew adoption with utility-aligned workflows
- Better visibility for leadership (risk, backlog, CIP justification)
- Cleaner data governance and reporting confidence
- A platform that keeps investing in water/wastewater needs
Frequently Asked Questions
No—most utilities migrate key history and then improve data quality over time.
We help you build a practical case around risk, adoption, and operating efficiency.
