Core Functionality
• Data Synchronization Engine: Synchronizes data with the AMI,
Customer Information System (CIS), and other enterprise applications using
FlexSync, an incremental, transactional-based approach to synchronizing
data in real-time.
• Data Repository: Uses a database partitioned Metered Usage Data
Repository (MUDR) to maintain performance, while storing a plethora of
Advanced Metering data.
• Service Oriented Architecture: Integrates all of your legacy, current, and
future systems, permitting consistent information viewing across all types of
meters and meter-data collection systems with no loss of data and without
updating existing systems.
• Workflow Engine: Persistently maintains and handles requests that require
workflow processing and tracks the progress of each operation.
• Audit Tracking: Allows users to configure which business components and
fields to audit, and to determine the scope of the audit. Audit features support
system operations and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.
• Validation, Estimating & Editing (VEE): Performs real-time interval data
validation and estimation according to configurable rules, allows graphical
editing of metered data, and instantaneously verifies the accuracy of interval
data and make corrections in real-time.
• Analytics Foundation: A star schema Analytics Engine, separate from core
transaction processing, provides near real-time access to information without
compromising operational performance.
• Reporting Frameworks: Presents customizable reports of AMI Health,
outage analysis and event analysis, letting business and technical users view
the same report portal to mine for problems.
