New offering packages existing expertise into streamlined,
subscription-based solution
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITRI) announced today a new way of delivering its
smart grid and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solutions with
Itron TOTAL. The new offering takes Itron's existing industry-leading
capabilities in metering, communications, data management, analysis and
professional services, and packages them all together in a simplified,
subscription-based pricing structure with complete managed services. The
multi-commodity offering is available across electric, gas and water
solutions in North America.
With Itron TOTAL, Itron's experienced team manages all aspects of a
utility's data collection system and operations, offloading the burden
of day-to-day management tasks and freeing utility staff to focus on
gaining more benefits and capabilities from their systems. The
offering's predictable cost model allows utilities to deploy advanced
technology and services at their own pace, whether they are looking for
surgical deployments or a complete system upgrade. Utilities receive
faster access to the full breadth and depth of Itron's products and
services, and can capitalize on Itron's robust security and advanced
monitoring capabilities.
"Itron launched Itron TOTAL to simplify the way in which we offer smart
grid and AMI solutions to our customers," said Jeff Carkhuff, vice
president of global product management for electricity at Itron. "Itron
TOTAL is yet another way that we are helping utilities be more
resourceful so they can better manage energy and water."
With the bundled managed services offering, the utility owns the
hardware and Itron manages all network communications, system
operations, data delivery, data collection and reporting, basic meter
data management and network management. Utilities can add additional
functionality such as analytics, field installation and maintenance
options, distribution automation, consumer engagement and other advanced
AMI functionality.
