With this ability, VEE intelligently fills in data gaps to provide utilities with a complete set of information across their entire business system.

The functionality is an example of EnergyIP’s management solution that eliminates batch processing to handle meter interval and network device data in real-time.

Access to complete real-time data helps utilities to ensure accurate customer billing, enhance customer service and operate more efficiently. Real-time VEE is one of a number of EnergyIP’s services that go beyond standard MDM meter-to-bill capabilities for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).

“Without real-time VEE, Meter Data Management (MDM) services cannot truly deliver in real time. eMeter is the only provider delivering an accurate real-time view to utilities’ back office applications,” said Cree Edwards, CEO and chairman of eMeter. “We designed this functionality to ensure that utilities have immediate access to accurate data, and are on the path to Smart Grid compliance. Without the capability to correct data anomalies immediately, utilities risk stranding the functionality of their AMI investment and ultimately hamper their ability to deliver on the DOE’s Smart Grid requirements.”

eMeter is a US-based developer of smart grid data management solutions for utility companies.
