LENSE™
BGE’S FRAMEWORK FOR ASSET INTELLIGENCE
LENSE™ is BGE’s practical approach to asset intelligence designed to help infrastructure owners understand where they are today and move confidently toward a more proactive, data-driven future.

LENSE Assessment
What is LENSE™?
Through five stages—Log, Evaluate, Network, Simulate, and Empower—BGE works alongside clients to move from simply
knowing what assets they have to managing them through a single, trusted source of truth. As data becomes more transparent and accessible across teams, organizations shift from reactive responses to actively predicting risk and addressing issues before they become problems.
The result of Using LENSE™?
An organization better equipped to anticipate challenges, optimize investments, and improve service reliability across the full life cycle of its infrastructure.
