• ENCORED: Redefining Energy Optimization Through Analytics

  • Top 10 Utilities Tech Consulting/Services Companies - 2019

     

    With the application of innovative technologies such as big data, analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), the utilities sector is stepping into a new age of transformation. This migration is causing significant changes—both in the way how companies operate and how they implement customer-centric and user-friendly solutions.

    Many players in the government and private sectors are working with utilities solution providers to optimize their use of energy and investigate the use of renewable sources within their enterprises. The adoption of technology within utilities will also transform the way how companies manage and use distributed energy resources. Couple with this the growing transition to smart grids and smart meters, and the opportunities are enormous. In this scenario, utilities will need to move from a commodity-based business model to a service-oriented business model to assist their customers in making better choices effectively.

    This edition of CIO Applications brings you the “Top 10 Utilities Tech Consulting/Services Providers-2019.” This edition will give you insights into how some of the leading consulting and services providers in the industry like USIC help empower utilities with performance and efficiency. We hope the list will help you choose services that suit your unique requirements and help you scale according to market demands.
