Unprecedented Awareness, Operations and Insight

Adding more intelligence means augmenting centralized processes with ones that are distributed throughout the grid, closer to where and when action and control take place. Distributed intelligence (DI) provides those needed insights so you can empower decision making at the right place and at the right time across your system. We're delivering “edgility” designed to evolve with your needs, and more importantly, your customers’ needs.

This is the future of utility operations, resource optimization and consumer engagement—and it’s here now with customers realizing its true value in the field, today.
