Smart Grid
Powering Measurable Value Today, for Tomorrow's Infinite Potential
As the levels of GQ – "Grid Quotient" – rise among consumers, the enterprises looking to lead the smart grid into an intelligent future have reached a consensus – information, quite literally, is power.
That's where information technology connects: to maximize the unlimited potential of an industry that can create sensor-heavy and carbon-light cities and economies. Realizing this transformation, however, requires solutions that help enterprises in overcoming industry blockages and outages.
Challenges & Opportunities
Energizing the enterprise: Concern for environmental stewardship, reliability and availability of energy is driving utilities to depend on the smart grid for evolving customer relationships, energy delivery and energy consumption. This transformation can be effected with the convergence of traditional operations with communications and information technology.
Getting intelligent with data: Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) has created an abundance of data, but does not deliver sweeping business value. Effective data utilization for an intelligent distribution system is part of the solution.
Delivering beyond satisfaction: As industry needs and consumers evolve, the complex technology landscape makes it all the more difficult to create a stellar customer experience. Reaching out to consumers across channels is being looked at as an imperative, with technology that increases consumer interest and participation in energy management.
