5 tips on how to choose the right CIS to enable smart metering

Tip #1:

Look for a CIS solution that includes an AMI Gateway and make sure that it is technology-agnostic as not to limit the range of vendors you can work with for the deployment.

Tip #2:

Search for a next-generation CIS with validating, estimating, and editing capabilities that can handle metering exceptions for large volumes of data.

Tip #3:

Look for a CIS that effectively integrates metering and billing processes to promptly detect errors and avoid customer claims.

Tip #4:

Consider a CIS which includes self-service portals and apps with dashboards and analytics that let customers monitor their usage and change their behavior to reduce their bill.

Tip #5:

To make sure you get the most out of your AMI deployment, focus on finding a CIS that can turn massive meter data into actionable information with data analytics.
