Getting More Out of Your AMI Implementation with AMI Analytics
Have you implemented AMI but feel there is more value to be gained? Look to analytics.
Planning an AMI rollout or replacement? Make sure to include value-add use cases with analytics that go beyond just meter-to-cash.
These value-add use cases are commonly referred to as AMI 2.0 use cases. AMI 2.0 is really the second major wave of use cases that leverage advanced analytic technologies to generate additional value from AMI data, and can be accompanied with a wholesale AMI meter replacement for early AMI adopters.
Utegration has successfully implemented AMI at many utilities, but we often see projects fall short of the strategic business objectives due to the scope of those projects. You want to harness the potential AMI has for your customers and your utility. In this webinar replay, we discuss an approach to AMI analytics, review a list of use cases for AMI data, and how to create insight-to-action by embedding information into your business processes.

Enterprise Performance Management
Creating Insights, Situational Awareness and Accountability in Finance, Customer, Operations and Safety
Utegration is seeing more and more interest from our utility clients in the area of Enterprise Performance Management – a focus on creating insights, situational awareness and accountability for areas around finance, customer, operations as well as other corporate performance such as safety.

This is the transformation of our historical BI/BW/BPC reporting into more dynamic / intelligent services. It is also yielding the opportunity for “dashboards," situational awareness, and other techniques.
Utegration has helped multiple utilities set up a roadmap for digitalization and advanced analysis, so they can deliver executive-level metrics and KPIs needed today. This webinar replay will provide the information you need to get started on your path to delivering and using high-impact analytics in your utility.
