“The partnership with kW Engineering has been central to the successful launch of Intermountain Health’s Remote Operations Center. kW brought a level of experience that would have taken decades to develop internally yet their approach was flexible enough to cater custom solutions for our specific needs. Their integration of a SkySpark based analytics and reporting platform for our Remote Operations Center program is the most powerful and compelling deployment of such a system I have seen in my career. I am proud of what the group has accomplished over the past 18 months and excited to see what is in store over the coming years.”
Ross Snow, Director of Energy Management, Intermountain Health
