Oracle Utilities and Cognizant Co-Develop Oracle Utilities Analytics Cloud Service
Oracle Utilities and Cognizant have co-developed Oracle Utilities Analytics Cloud Service, which helps utilities easily integrate their on-premise customer, meter, device, and workforce data into a single platform in the cloud.
Oracle Utilities Analytics Cloud Service was one of the cutting-edge analytics solutions Oracle Utilities announced at the EEI Annual Convention in Chicago. These solutions enable utilities to better access, organize and analyze the massive amount of data they collect while saving time and reducing IT and maintenance costs.
“As a leading systems integrator and Oracle PartnerNetwork member, we worked closely with the Oracle Utilities team on co-development activities for Oracle Utilities Analytics,” said John Gustafson, Vice President, Energy and Utilities at Cognizant.
He added, “This solution can enable utilities around the world to leverage robust analytics capabilities and gain immediate access to valuable insight. Drawing on Cognizant’s extensive global experience and expertise in implementing Oracle Business Intelligence and working with Oracle Cloud, we are continuing to develop new implementation resources for Oracle Utilities Analytics Cloud Service for utilities worldwide.”
The cloud solution’s flexibility and scalability enables utilities of all sizes to leverage powerful data analytics without the need for in-house analytics experts. The cloud “future-proofs” smart grid and analytics strategies—enabling utilities to leverage the latest analytics capabilities to remain at the forefront of industry innovation.
“Utilities today collect massive amounts of data and they do not always have the means to analyze it and turn it into actionable business intelligence,” said Rodger Smith, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Oracle Utilities. He added that Oracle Utilities Analytics Cloud Service provided utilities with the ability to analyze their data more quickly, and in a more meaningful way.
