• Thursday, May 22, 2008 at 11:00 am ET

Utilities and many commercial and residential customers are looking ahead to a time when smart meters, which provide intelligent, real-time electricity, gas and water usage information, are pervasive. Smart meters promise overall cost reduction, better information for utilities and customers about usage and a "green" approach to generating, delivering and consuming energy and water. This session discusses the smart meter landscape, its benefits to both utilities and their customers, and some of the challenges that lie ahead for early adopters. Planning ahead - for everything from regulatory compliance to meter replacement - will significantly improve a utility's chances for smooth adoption of smart meters across the customer base, leading to cost savings and happier customers.

Attendees will learn:

• the potential pitfalls of wide-scale replacement without solid workforce management;
• how to correlate effective mobile workforce management and optimization systems with effective replacement, installation and maintenance;
• the benefits driving the smart meter movement; and
• the several roadblocks nascent markets face.
