Challenges Facing Utilities TodaChallenges Facing Utilities TodayIncreased Data Requirements

• Data quality neccessary to drive smart• Data quality neccessary to drive smart applications is less forgiving

• Take the examle of DMS/GIS- Addressing the critical nature of smart-grid

- Making data available in the appropriate format to all grid participants

Challenges Facing Utilities TodaChallenges Facing Utilities TodayData Volume is a huge challenge

• Traditional MDM and AMI - For every million meters, expect 97,000,000 meter reads per y , p , , p

day- Utilities are being inundated with data not only coming from

smart meters, but also intelligent assets on the gridsmart meters, but also intelligent assets on the grid

• The Operational Data StoreThe Operational Data Store- Seamless interoperability- Geo-spatially enabled - Scalability and performance- Security

Benefits of the Clo dBenefits of the Cloud

• Reduced CostCloud technology is paid incrementally, saving organizations money.

• Increased StorageIncreased StorageOrganizations can store more data than on private computer systems.

• Highly Automated No longer do IT personnel need to worry about keeping software up to date.

• FlexibilityCloud computing offers much more flexibility than past computing methodsCloud computing offers much more flexibility than past computing methods.

• More Mobility Employees can access information wherever they are, rather than having to remain at their desks.

• Allows IT to Shift FocusN l h i t b t t t d t d th ti iNo longer having to worry about constant server updates and other computing issues, organizations will be free to concentrate on their core businesses.
