Veracity Connect, the category defining collaborative platform for utilities, and Power Delivery Alliance (PDA), the leading aggregator of storm response services, have entered into a strategic partnership to offer a single point of contact for utilities to access storm response services.

This partnership brings together the technology of the Veracity Connect platform with the services provided by PDA, providing utilities a key differentiator in their ability to get the lights back on.”

“Power Delivery Alliance has been an innovator and leader in providing aggregated storm services to all types of utilities since 2009,” said Greg Fox, CEO, Power Delivery Alliance. “Our collaboration with Veracity Connect enables us to expand our service capabilities, making it easier for utilities to access resources and equipment.”
