From many technologies comes one data set.

Hard to believe but true, there are few standards when it comes to meter communications or networking. But that does not mean a utility is unable to join disparate AMR/AMI and manual read meter technologies into an integrated system. They just need to know how.

Here's the answer. The Ecologic Meter Data Management System (MDMS) uses service oriented architecture (SOA) to create common gateways to virtually every meter reading system in use by utilities.

Even if your service points are a jumbled collection of meters installed and gathered over various technology eras, using different collection interfaces, they can all be linked into a common meter data repository and viewed as a unified collection of information. That's just part of the power an MDMS provides.

You see, the Ecologic MDMS is a single enterprise solution that is capable of translating data formats from AMR/AMI systems into a common format that can be used across the utility.

One accurate data pool in one format available to everyone – isn't that exactly how it should be?
