IBM and Cisco Utilities Network Revitalization Solutions

Despite an aging infrastructure, today’s utility companies must deliver virtually omnipresent network reliability and accommodate continued growth in demand. To help them address these challenges, IBM and Cisco are partnering to provide solutions which are specifically designed to revitalize a utility’s end-to-end network infrastructure and transform business operations. Today, IBM and Cisco offer three joint solutions which help utilities improve business-critical processes, increase end-to-end reliability, lower operational costs, and reduce risk:

• Mobile Workforce Management: The Mobile Workforce Management solution helps utilities empower mobile workers with accurate, real-time information for optimum service and quick on-site decision-making.
• Asset Lifecycle Management: The Asset Lifecycle Management solution is designed to optimize utility asset planning, investment and maintenance through easier real-time access to information, improved analytics, and better decision-making.
• Advanced Meter Management: The Advanced Meter Management solution builds intelligence into traditionally “low-tech” devices (such as meters, transformers, power lines, etc.), for the transport of the data and the integration of this information into business and operations systems.
