Water 2.0 Recommends: Unlock the Value of AMI Investments 2/28 11AM PT/2PM ET

Posted on March 20th, 2017 in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Water 2.0 would like to recommend:

Waterside Chats – Hosted by WaterSmart Software
Unlock the Value of AMI Investments
Tuesday, February 28, 2017
11AM PT / 2PM ET

Transitioning to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is complex, time consuming, and expensive. Utility managers are challenged to integrate AMI with various other utility systems while also creating flexibility for future improvements. Also, utilities often fail to leverage the plethora of AMI data to improve operational efficiency.

This WaterSide Chat brings together two experts that will discuss how to overcome challenges associated with upgrading a metering system to AMI. Joe Ball is the Director of Solutions Marketing at Itron, Inc. Joe brings decades of experience helping utility managers optimize their existing metering systems. Spencer Cashwell is a Program Technician at the City of Bend, Oregon who brings 20 years of experience implementing, deploying and managing water metering systems. He’s been instrumental to the City of Bend’s multi-year transition to AMI.

We hope you can join the conversation on Tuesday, February 28th.
