Telvent Announces Efficient, Cost-Effective Smart Grid Solutions for Utility Companies Worldwide
October 05 2011 - 10:00AM
Telvent (Nasdaq:TLVT), the leading real-time IT solutions and
information provider for a sustainable world, announced today at
the Microsoft Global Utilities Summit, that its alignment with
Microsoft has created more efficient and cost-effective smart grid
solutions for utility companies.
Telvent's industry-leading smart grid solutions, combined with
Microsoft's Smart Energy Reference Architecture (SERA), allow
utilities to easily integrate Telvent functionality on top of the
Microsoft platform. This creates an opportunity for utilities to
gather business critical information from multiple systems, which
can then be easily integrated into their network. Utilities benefit
from this functionality by gaining information that can be shared
efficiently company-wide.
By allowing for open technology and easy integration of
Microsoft and Telvent products, SERA allows utilities to navigate
rapidly changing smart grid dynamics and create a secure network.
This functionality is scalable, so it can be implemented by
utilities of all sizes and easily expands to meet growing needs.
The end result is an integrated network that not only maximizes
network efficiencies, but also creates a lower total cost of
ownership for utilities.
According to Telvent's chairman and CEO, Ignacio Gonzalez,
"Telvent and Microsoft are leading providers of information
technology solutions in the utility industry, and our offerings
complement each other in a manner that allows utilities to make
smarter operating decisions. Our alignment with Microsoft creates
an opportunity for utilities to easily integrate multiple
information-gathering systems, while ensuring the creation of a
secure smart grid platform."
"One of our keys to success in the utility industry is working
with partners that address technology integration in a manner that
enhances our strengths to provide scalable, simple electric grid
solutions," said Jon Arnold, managing director, Worldwide Power
& Utilities Industry, Microsoft Corp. "Telvent's knowledge of
the smart grid industry combines perfectly with our trusted
technology to give customers a best-in-class, yet low-cost
offering."
Telvent is leveraging the SERA framework within its own
technology offerings for the smart grid industry including
distribution management, SCADA, outage management, geographical
information systems, and meter data management. Additionally,
Telvent serves on the SERA advisory council, which focuses on
turning mass amounts of data into meaningful information.
