Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployments and the value smart meters offer have fueled a business transformation for utilities. In this new world where we read meters more frequently and accurately, reconnect meters remotely, feed voltage data to grid management systems and present interval data to customers online, we have created a critical dependency on AMI data. Additionally, this critical dependency on data continues to grow as new types of devices are added to the network.
In order to continue meeting business needs, it is important that high performance data collection for all networked endpoints is maintained and maximized to ensure consistent communications and uninterrupted data flow. That includes not only the necessary reporting and visibility tools to provide awareness, but also, and more importantly, the right strategy and execution steps to correct issues.
