Google to offer Mekorot technology in its marketplace

Google will offer Mekorot's meklock system which enables monitoring and management of infrastructure facilities, Calcalist has learned. The SaaS software allows remote access to operational data for municipal and public infrastructure companies like water, electricity, and gas corporations. It replaces traditional monitoring methods and is compatible with various infrastructure sectors such as electricity, fuel, and communication.

Gil Groskop, Deputy for Technology at Mekorot, stated, "Google will offer our solution through its marketplace, facilitating remote operations. Initial interfacing will involve our assistance, with subsequent independent operation. The system will be available on the marketplace pending Google's approval."

Groskop added, "We anticipate three customer sales in the first year and we will make the required adjustments afterwards." Mekorot has previously collaborated with technology giants, such as Microsoft, to develop a cloud for water sector statistical data. This initiative aims to share knowledge on precipitation, consumption, and climate crisis research with academics and researchers.

Shay Mor, Director, Head of Public Sector & Defense at Google Cloud Israel, commented, "Implementing this cloud technology will drive innovation within Mekorot as well as set industry best practices for other water treatment organizations."
