With change and transformation comes challenge and opportunity
Evolving Business Models
While utilities must continue to deliver efficient and reliable service to their customers, they must also consider business model transformation. Indeed, utilities are morphing into service providers, much like telecom companies, requiring comprehensive support to adequately meet today’s demands while preparing for the future changes ahead.
Increased Grid Infrastructure Pressure
Aging assets and extreme weather conditions are placing unprecedented pressure on existing infrastructure.
Higher level of customer service
Along with the shift in business model comes a higher than ever level of expected customer service. Today’s consumers are connected and anticipate the same service level from their utility providers as they receive from other leading B2C service providers.
Compliance Requirements
With change and transformation comes challenge and opportunity

Gridstream Connect supports Landis+Gyr’s industry-leading approach to intelligence – Layered Intelligence. Layered Intelligence combines the best of edge and central intelligence models while avoiding the pitfalls of each. Our comprehensive approach provides you with the right information at the right place and time across your ecosystem.
Information overload is a real problem and requires considering the following circumstances; Where is the information needed? What information is required? How quickly is the information needed?
Layered Intelligence puts your data to work more efficiently and effectively across your system, from grid-edge to central system.
The Right Intelligence at the Right Place and Time
Edge Intelligence
Edge intelligence provides faster reaction time for treating local conditions, Community Intelligence is a larger subset of sensors such as a smart city and the central intelligence model provides greater context for informed decisions
