Pre-built Macrocomm Smart Utilities Data Flows support the meter-to-cash process, commissioning and provisioning of meters, meter asset synchronization and integration to national data hubs. Instead of spending a lot of time and money to design a large system integration project themselves, Macrocomm Smart Utilities comes with all the typical integration challenges pre-solved for metering service operators. This enables them to handle data collection, validation, estimation and storage of meter data, synchronization of asset information across all utilities’ systems and transfer of billing relevant data according to the specific metering regulations.īy using Macrocomm Smart Utilities as the integration platform with prebuilt data connectors and Data Flows, any metering service provider can get a significant head-start for establishing its platform. Such a service provider then needs to integrate to the utilities’ core systems and build up the metering specific IT infrastructure themselves. To benefit from economies of scale, utilities often engage with a service provider to deliver the smart metering service on their behalf. Further, Gender Equality and Social Inclusion is a cross-cutting theme under the SAREP program.Rolling out smart meters and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is typically very costly, particularly for smaller utilities. SAREP’s activities are geared towards the various focus areas of the LiFE initiative.
