Advanced Meter Infrastructure: Composite Technologies to Meet New Demands in Sales and Customer Service

Overview As energy markets liberalize and governmental mandates force reforms, AMI promises to help utilities stay competitive in ways that older metering and data-exchange technologies simply cannot. But without a proper IT infrastructure that enables utilities to implement and work with AMI in a cost-effective manner, utilities will find it difficult to deliver the flexible pricing options that the market demands. The data management and real-time communication requirements of AMI require greater communication and collaboration between customer and utility - and far greater interoperability for systems both within the utility's IT landscape and across enterprise boundaries. To succeed, in other words, AMI requires the support of a powerful, highly adaptive IT infrastructure.
