Innovation Observatory highlights LogNet Systems' focus on smart grid billing

LogNet Systems analyst coverage in an Innovation Observatory report

LogNet Systems is featured in a market report published by Innovation Observatory titled Smart Grid Billing Outlook 2012-2016. 

This analyst report analyzes the opportunities for utility providers and municipalities to create new services and revenues, increase process efficiency and develop business models for multi-service environments.

Innovation Observatory explains in the report that LogNet Systems as a vendor with a background in telecommunications is positioned to win business with forward-looking utility providers and municipalities in deregulating economies as well as new entrants in competitive markets.

“While smart meter deployments have been growing steadily over the last 3-4 years, utilities’ IT system priorities have been focused on preparing for how to deal with large volumes of smart meter data. We expect to see the emphasis change towards making use of that data to develop innovative tariffs and new services. All this will require a change to legacy billing systems used by utilities,” writes Danny Dicks, Principal Consultant at Innovation Observatory and the author of the report. “Those solutions that are designed to bill for multiple services – LogNet’s MaxBill system for instance – will enable utilities and municipalities to turn smart meter data into valuable services and new revenue.”
