Your AMI Procurement Partner |
|
Did you know that advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has a typical lifespan of 20 years? Given the long stretch between procurements, it can be a challenge to stay current with the latest technology. Plus, as the earliest deployments are quickly approaching end of life, vendors are investing heavily in next generation AMI and new capabilities, further complicating the solution landscape. That's why it's important to work with a consulting company that thoroughly understands the emerging technology and can advise you every step of the way.
Util-Assist helps utilities across North America procure AMI and associated systems. With deep knowledge of all the vendor offerings, Util-Assist ensures you procure best-fit, future-proof solutions that reflect the needs of diverse stakeholders, unlocking the full potential of your investments for the lifetime of the assets. Our latest animated video illustrates the value Util-Assist brings as your procurement partner.

PowerAssist Preparations
Feeling a nip in the air? It's time to start preparing for winter. Next year marks the ten-year anniversary of the Ontario ice storm that affected over 600,000 customers, leaving some without power for ten days. Utilities experienced an overwhelming spike in customer calls over a short period, while customers were frustrated by their inability to connect with a live agent during an emergency. Affected utilities quickly realized that measures were needed to improve their customer service.
The storm brought increased interest in Util-Assist's outage management contact centre services, PowerAssist. PowerAssist delivers fast, personalized service with live agents, plus the ability to rapidly scale during widespread outages at a fraction of standard costs. Since then, PowerAssist has evolved to deliver services across multiple channels for customer convenience and even faster service. Find out more.
