The Future Is Here... Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI): Composite Technologies to Meet New Demands in Sales and Customer Service

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview Regardless of the specific market requirements, however, it is clear that without sufficiently adaptive IT landscapes, utilities across the board will find it difficult to deliver on the promise of AMI. This is where enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture (enterprise SOA) comes into play. Enterprise SOA is a business-driven software architecture that goes beyond the fundamentals of service-oriented architecture, allowing utilities to flexibly expose various technology components within the IT landscape as Web services and more easily compose solutions to support AMI. This paper examines how AMI is gaining a foothold in energy markets and explains how utilities can use enterprise SOA to make AMI a reality for those facing new and unanswered market challenges.
