Our Services
Professional Services
eMeter’s management team has over an average of 20+ years of experience in advanced metering, communications, and data management. We apply this experience and our skills as technology and business innovators to the planning, installation, and configuration of EnergyIP™ in your facility.
Planning begins with requirements definition and the design of core functionality to support basic synchronization, meter data processing, and billing activities. It also includes extensive process modeling to enable automation, increase efficiency, and streamline operations. We design the infrastructure with multi-path networks and redundant hardware to ensure reliability. And all eMeter deployments are based on industry standards, which reduce the risk of obsolescence and vendor lock-in.
Software installation focuses on resolving scalability, reliability, and security issues while integrating advanced metering networks to utility CIS, billing, and outage management systems. Installation also includes extensive testing. We design a test plan for integration testing, functional testing, acceptance testing, and user operational testing. Our test system fully duplicates the production system. eMeter is known for successful installation of large, complex projects. We’ve met client cost and performance goals for numerous large-scale, multi-million meter AMI and AMIS projects.
Software configuration ensures that EnergyIP data repositories, applications, and GUIs satisfy documented business rules and customizations. We fine tune your solution to provide reliable, low-cost operations—recording, collecting, processing, managing, and seamlessly delivering accurate data to utility systems. We enable our clients to combine their superior energy expertise with new, robust data to meet their strategic objectives: lower operating costs, reduced capital expenditures, and greater customer satisfaction.
Project management includes scheduling, action item tracking, and issue tracking to coordinate AMIS implementation. The eMeter project manager tracks commitments and actions to ensure that they are completed in the required timeframe and that issues affecting progress are resolved. Project schedules always identify critical path items, activity completion percentage, schedule slippage, and project impact.
