ORACLE BRIEF
Remove error, delays and customization from meter-to-cash
As utilities roll out new programs and look for new value from smart device investment,
it is critical that they optimize meter-to cash process, which for a modern utility is built
upon the convergence of meter health, usage data, and billing process. By monitoring
the health of meters in real time, Oracle Utilities ODM protects a critical aspect of
revenue realization by:
» Removing meter asset management from customer information systems (CIS) to
eliminate implementation delays and customization
» Ensuring each meter is functioning properly and interval data is accurate so that all
devices are capable of supporting the billing process
» Eliminating device failure by proactively identifying and prioritizing meters for
replacement, ensuring revenue streams and cash flow are more predictable
» Decreasing the number of trouble calls to the contact center
» Reducing occurrences of revenue-delaying field work
Protect investment
ODM enables you to know the location and status of each device— at all times. From
device purchase to retirement, Oracle Utilities ODM provides location and status
management throughout the lifecycle. No matter the asset location —centralized or
satellite storerooms, staging areas, repair shops, or on a truck—security is enhanced
and status is readily available.
Reduce management and maintenance cost and complexity
Oracle Utilities ODM serves as an automated lifecycle management and maintenance
shop, proactively adjusting, updating and repairing smart devices as needed. As a
result, it simplifies complex processes, such as managing firmware updates, and
assures compatibility of all smart grid elements. As Oracle Utilities ODM injects more
efficiency, speed and accuracy into work processes, it provides tremendous cost
savings by eliminating work and reducing costly truck rolls.
