Abstract:There are some problems in smart water development, such as system isolation, information island and so on. In order to improve the overall support ability of smart water to business management, the framework with two dimensions in four steps is developed based on current situation of smart water in Shenzhen. Based on clarifying the relationship between organizations, business and process in each development stage, the information tools for supporting business activities is determined. The smart water development is promoted according to four steps which are current problems analysis, business scenario sorting, business process regeneration and data process matching. This paper proposes a “three steps” strategy which is goal setting, framework development, and content design. The relevant practice shows that smart water development should be able to support the top-level design and to be boosted in stages. The whole process is based on business scenario sorting, with the future scenario application as the core and data governance as the key.
