ATLANTA, July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Red Clay
Consulting, a solutions implementer that helps utilities modernize
through technology solutions and a highly recognized member of
Oracle Partner Network, announces the successful implementation of
an Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management (MDM) system at Colorado
Springs Utilities.
Meter Data Management refers to software that performs storage
for the vast amount of data generated by smart metering systems.
Oracle Utilities MDM gathers and processes data from any type,
variety, or brand of device. The application loads, validates,
stores, and formats the data in ways that facilitate business
processes across multiple internal and external systems.
For generations, Colorado Springs Utilities has provided
electricity, natural gas, water, and wastewater services to the
Pikes Peak region. As a community-owned utility, its customers
enjoy competitive prices, exceptional hometown service, responsible
environmental practices, and a voice in how their utility
operates.
In addition to implementing the MDM, Colorado Springs Utilities
engaged Red Clay to provide AMI program management services to keep
their AMI program on track with all disciplines operating as one
team.
"We are proud to have partnered with the Colorado Springs
Utilities team to implement an MDM system that will continue to
grow and evolve with the utility," said Paul Marnell, CEO of Red Clay Consulting. "To
have three major utility services, water, gas and electric, go-live
simultaneously is a significant accomplishment and a great
testament to the work of Colorado Springs Utilities and the Red
Clay team."
Together, Red Clay and Colorado Springs Utilities have
implemented a system that is currently processing reads from more
than 600,000 devices, including gas, water and electric meters. The
two organizations have integrated with more than 20 disparate
systems to create an overall end-to-end AMI solution.
"Taking advantage of Red Clay's expertise in the Advanced
Metering Infrastructure field will help transform the way we work,"
said General Manager of Customer Services, Melissa Richardson. "We will provide customers
with a better overall experience. With the new meters, we'll be
able to provide additional usage data to customers to aid them in
managing their utilities usage and leveraging our rate options to
reduce their bills. Red Clay's support has been essential to the
success of this important part of our digital transformation."
From data synchronization efforts, infrastructure support,
innovative solution design, and customer business support, the Red
Clay team has proven to be a true value-add partner to Colorado
Springs Utilities. The new MDM system is a major milestone in the
utility's vision for a flexible, modern customer experience and
business-process automation.
