Facilitate Utility Management with Advanced Data Services

More Details

What is It:

The Utility Data Enterprise System (UDES) has been developed to help organizations optimize and manage their enterprise-wide utility and energy management operations through (near) real-time data collection and proactive data analytics.  The UDES facilitates enterprise utility management by bringing together all (near) real-time facility utility data into a single uniform file system accessible via dashboards, each customized to the individual user. 


The system provides value in

  1. Reduced Hardware, Infrastructure and Start-Up Costs; 
  2. Rapid Deployment with Existing Data Sources; 
  3. Streamlined Data Structures and Organization;
  4. Control of the System to Adapt and Scale with Reduced Additional Costs;
  5. Focused Efforts on Decision Making and NOT Data Entry.
