Introduction: From Compliance to Growth
At the AWWA Water Quality Technology Conference (WQTC) in Tacoma this November, thousands of professionals—water quality specialists, treatment plant managers, engineers, regulators, scientists, manufacturers, and utility leaders—will gather to explore the latest innovations in water treatment, monitoring, and compliance.
But beyond compliance and technology, one question looms large: How do utilities and organizations scale their success without adding chaos? That’s where Sovereign Central™ comes in.
The Growth Challenge in Water Quality Projects
Whether you’re managing a municipal treatment plant, leading a research lab, running a successful manufacturing supplier business, or overseeing capital projects for a utility, the barriers to growth are strikingly similar:
Scattered documentation across emails, drives, and outdated systems.
Manual workflows that delay approvals and vendor payments.
Limited visibility into budgets, compliance, and project status.
Contractor frustration with clunky collaboration tools and low transparency.
These challenges don’t mean you’re failing—they mean you’re ready to scale.
Automating What Already Works
Sovereign Central™, built on Microsoft SharePoint and Power Automate, doesn’t replace your success—it multiplies it.
Centralized Documentation: From bid to closeout, every contract, submittal, approval, invoice, and change order lives in one secure portal.
Custom Workflows: Tailored automations for approvals, compliance checks, vendor payments, and more.
Role-Based Access: Ensure scientists, engineers, regulators, and administrators see exactly what they need—nothing more, nothing less.
Seamless Collaboration: External contractors, consultants, and internal teams work together without friction.
Real-Time Transparency: Dashboards give utility managers and government officials instant visibility into project progress and budgets.
Case in Point: Scaling Water Quality Success - Without Adding Staff
When a City Utility partnered with us, they weren’t broken—they were ready. By automating workflows and centralizing documentation, they scaled their capital projects from $20M to $200M with minimal staff increases.
That’s the power of automating success.
Why This Matters for WQTC Attendees
If you’re attending WQTC as a:
Water quality specialist or lab professional → streamline sampling and reporting documentation.
