For years, utility companies worked perfectly well with a broad range of discrete systems. Generation, distribution, consumption, billing and account management were separate activities with separate tools and skills.

Connectivity extends beyond traditional boundaries too. Just think about the new relationships emerging around e-vehicles and smart cities.

With over 30 years’ continual service in utilities, Atos is shaping smart futures. Smart grid control allows new business models in which local generation becomes an essential part of the mix.

And Smart metering should do more than reduce cost and boost efficiency – it now becomes instrumental in redefining customer and partner relationships.
