ATOS :Utilities empowered by Big Data analytics solution from Atos
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Bezons, Vienna, 30 October 2015 - Atos Worldgrid, a world leader in intelligent
energy management solutions, launches its Big Data solution for utility
companies that allows consumers to regain control of their energy consumption
whilst at the same time allowing utility companies to develop new added-value
services. Atos will demonstrate its new solution on stand A.K41 at European
Utility Week 2015 in Vienna from 3-5 November.
Business reinvention - hub for running and supporting the connected household
Developed on the Atos Business Analytics Platform, the new energy multi-sided
market solution is a Big Data platform for services focused on business
reinvention. It enables utility companies to create new services based on meter
data in order to improve customer engagement, minimize churn and open new
revenue streams. The solution analyzes meter data from all streams, including
electricity, gas and water for distribution, retail utilities and other
business partners.
Data for a smart home
Data is at the heart of the solution. By measuring the overall electricity
consumption of the household over a span of about ten minutes, the smart meter
can provide a fair and precise reading, and can highlight, for example, the
excessive consumption of a particularly energy-thirsty oven.
Big data is transformed into detailed information that enables consumers to get
their energy bills back under control. With the right information at their
fingertips they can look at what equipment they use and how they do so. For
utility companies, it is also an unrivalled opportunity to propose new
innovative services in multiple disciplines - security, insurance, health - and
to generate new revenues. Firstly, it will enable them to combine their
ecosystems with the creation of services. Secondly, they will finally be able to
establish a real dialogue with customers.
Jerome de Parscau, CEO at Atos Worldgrid explains: "Today utility companies only
spend an average of 9 minutes a year on relationship building with the end
customer. We believe there is a golden opportunity for utilities to regain their
market territory and enhance the client relationship by offering new value-added
services. With the new big data platform, we empower utility companies, so that
they can focus on shaping their future business and generate new revenue
streams".
