Both market factors and changes in the industry are impacting the demand for information usability in the utilities businesses, especially the energy industry. The introduction of residential smart metering creates a drastic change in data collection from manual reads to the near real-time communication of consumption. Simultaneously, increased eco-awareness opens the door for more comprehensive customer statements, including detailed usage statistics as well as comparative reporting. And importantly, companies will need a more comprehensive view of their customers and their network, understand consumption and behavior models, develop creative product bundles and pricing models, as well as monitor many alternate data streams to help in anticipating (and rapidly responding to) outages, failures, and losses.
