SEATTLE, WA – October 18, 2024 – ITpipes, a leading provider of comprehensive pipeline inspection and asset management software solutions, is excited to announce its official partnership with OpenGov, marking a significant milestone in the pipeline inspection industry. This collaboration brings together ITpipes’ state-of-the-art pipeline inspection software with OpenGov’s Cartegraph Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution, setting a new standard for seamless integration and operational efficiency.


A Seamless Integration for Superior Asset Management

The integration of ITpipes with Cartegraph Asset Management represents the gold standard for pipeline inspection software, providing municipalities and contractors with a robust solution for managing and maintaining their infrastructure.

Industry Leaders Weigh In

Mark Grabowski of ITpipes shared his enthusiasm about the partnership: “We have been integrating with Cartegraph for about five years, and this official partnership with OpenGov makes an already great integration even more powerful. With mutual support, we can enhance real-time data synchronization, reduce manual entry and errors, and ultimately lead to more informed decision-making for municipal asset management.

Connor Hunt, Director of Partnerships at OpenGov, also emphasized the importance of the collaboration: “Partnering with ITpipes enhances our ability to provide clients with a comprehensive solution for their buried asset management needs.

Enhanced Efficiency and Actionable Intelligence

The ITpipes and Cartegraph EAM integration offers several key benefits:

  • Bi-Directional Automated Integration: Work orders issued in Cartegraph can be automatically assigned to field inspection vehicles in ITpipes. Additionally, if an unassigned pipe is inspected, ITpipes can create work orders automatically in Cartegraph.
  • Real-time Data Transfer: Inspection data is seamlessly transferred between ITpipes and Cartegraph, ensuring that all asset information is up-to-date and easily accessible.  ITpipes even calculates Cartegraph’s Overall Condition Index (OCI) for any pipe inspected.
  • Error Reduction: The integration eliminates manual data entry by automating data synchronization, reducing the potential for errors.
  • Improved Decision-Making: With comprehensive and accurate data at their fingertips, asset managers can make more informed decisions about maintenance and repairs, optimize their resources, and extend the life of their infrastructure.

A Step Forward in Pipeline Inspection

This partnership underscores ITpipes’ commitment to innovation and excellence in the pipeline inspection industry. By aligning with OpenGov and integrating with Cartegraph EAM, ITpipes continues to lead the way in providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of municipalities and contractors.
