AMI Enterprise Why –Utilities have an opportunity to learn from others, contribute their best practices and lessons learned, and implement a better solution in the end. –Utilities will have an opportunity to leverage work products from AMI-ENT in their AMI/SmartGrid RFI/RFP process. –As more utilities participate, vendors are encouraged to comply with standards –Common services and interfaces drives down acquisition and TCO costs and risks of implementation and maintenance. –Vendors will have to compete on merits (features) of their solution and how well they interoperate with others, rather than attempt to lock in with proprietary technologies.
