Water: more than just a resource
A look at our vision
Immerse yourself in our vision of a world in which water is not only protected, but also valued as a valuable source of information - with smart data worx
Intelligent water/resource utilisation through smart data worx
Strategic cooperation between AKDB and OOWV brings momentum to water and resource management
We combine in-depth expertise with state-of-the-art software, data, analysis, artificial intelligence and sensor technology. Together, we develop innovative applications that go far beyond the mere visualisation of data.
For example, our technologies unlock and utilise the hidden intelligence of water by revealing complex relationships that were previously unknown. By understanding these dynamics, we enable our users to utilise water in a way that is truly intelligent - proactive, efficient and future-oriented.

Our shared responsibility
A world in which digitalisation, water and resource management go hand in hand
Our vision is a smart municipality in which data platforms are used to shape a sustainable future and enable the municipal administration of the future. As the initiators of this vision, the companies AKDB and OOWV are driving the digital transformation of our cities and municipalities.
Our vision comprises three central points:
- Municipal development and design
We are striving for a future in which the various areas of a city are networked and controlled via data platforms. Through the efficient use of resources and the targeted reduction of energy consumption, we are creating an environmentally friendly infrastructure. By involving citizens, we take their needs and concerns into account and create a liveable community for everyone. - The public sector of the future
Our vision is a progressive administration that uses digital solutions to reduce bureaucracy, optimise processes and offer a high quality of service. The digital transformation enables efficient administration that meets the needs of citizens and advances our cities and municipalities. - Sustainability and positive impact
We firmly believe that smart communities and cities, based on data platforms and driven by advanced governance, are the key to a sustainable future.
Our vision is a world in which digitalisation has a positive impact on our environment and society.
We are proud to be driving this vision forward together with our partners and setting the course for a sustainable society.
Certified Quality and Information Security
As a company certified according to ISO 9001 (quality management system) and ISO 27001 (information security management system), we are committed to continuously improving our processes, our reliability and the protection of sensitive data. These objectives are an integral part of our entrepreneurial actions.
DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management · Certified 2025 · Valid until 2028
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security · Certified 2025 · Valid until 2028
Quality Management according to ISO 9001
Our quality management system is designed to ensure that our customers always have a competent point of contact and are satisfied with our services. Through careful project handovers and structured final reviews, we make quality visible at every stage. We do not see mistakes as failure, but as a source of learning: follow-up discussions after deviations or support incidents are an established part of our culture. Quality awareness starts during onboarding — new employees are familiarised with our quality-related topics from the outset. We measure responsiveness and reliability towards our customers using specific response times. We continuously improve the management system itself, including through regular internal audits.
Information Security according to ISO/IEC 27001
The protection of information — both that of our customers and our own — is a top priority at smart data worx. Our information security management system in accordance with ISO 27001 defines clear objectives to systematically minimise risks and ensure the ability to act in an emergency. We continuously invest in raising awareness among our employees through awareness training and phishing simulations. Security incidents are handled according to a defined incident response process that ensures rapid initial response and orderly escalation. Known vulnerabilities are consistently closed through structured patch management. We regularly test the resilience of our systems through documented recovery tests.
Our Quality Policy
Quality is not only a measurable outcome for us, but an expression of our attitude. As a specialised data intelligence company in the energy and water sectors, we understand quality as a holistic commitment to our customers, partners, employees — and to ourselves.
-
Customer Focus & Responsibility
We deliver data-based solutions that create real added value for our customers. Our goal is to understand requirements proactively, implement projects reliably and help shape the digitalisation of the utilities sector — efficiently, securely and fairly. -
Corporate Excellence — Adapted to Our Level of Maturity
We strive for excellent performance across our entire value chain, while always taking our individual level of maturity into account and focusing on proportionate, effective measures. We consistently derive our quality objectives and improvement initiatives from our projects, processes and feedback. -
Error Culture & Learning from Experience
Quality does not arise from avoiding mistakes, but from dealing with them consciously. We live a constructive error culture in which debriefings, feedback rounds and lessons learned meetings are an integral part of how we work. This principle applies to internal processes as well as to customer projects and events. -
Onboarding, Information & Participation
Quality starts with knowledge and awareness. From the onboarding stage onwards, new employees and our external partners are actively informed about our quality standards, values and procedures. All employees are invited to take responsibility and actively contribute to improving quality. -
Fairness & Partnership
For us, quality is a fundamental mindset. We stand for fair business and, therefore, for partnership-based conduct — both internally and towards our customers, suppliers and partners. We apply our expectations regarding quality, transparency and reliability to ourselves as well. -
Continuous Improvement
We operate a quality management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, which we continuously maintain and develop. Through regular audits, reviews and open communication, we ensure that our system is actively practised — not only on paper, but in everyday business.
Our Code of Conduct
Responsibility we live by as a binding commitment
Our vision of a sustainable, data-driven and future-ready municipality is based not only on technology, but above all on responsibility, transparency and integrity.
In our Code of Conduct, we have defined the principles and standards of behaviour that guide our actions at smart data worx — in our dealings with one another, with our partners, customers and the public. It provides the binding framework for our daily actions and underlines our commitment to ethical, lawful and responsible work.
