Hola a todos

¿Puede alguien ayudarme con la traducción de akin to any utility en esta frase?

Contexto

Turning to the question of the sustainability of the changes brought about by the programme, the evaluation suggests there will be a legacy in terms of better policy choices or enhanced technological capabilities.
However, the various services are akin to any utility, which is to say they are valuable while they are running;
turn them off and the decision making and operational processes they supported will quickly need to revert to alternative inputs, or be degraded

Muchas gracias
