2. Good Morning Kinetiq Canada Limited Savage Data Systems Jim Steele CEO
Ron Savage President
Both companies have been active in the utility market for several years with many of you as customers.
Introduce us and company

3. Your #1 request
‘the VEE functions and AMI performance should be considered highest priority, requiring the AMI interface to be the first functionality implemented for ODS’
Reaffirm their priority and assure we can deliver

4. Some of the first options to be considered are integration with OMS and WFM to ensure that work orders are not being created for the purpose of servicing meters which have been disconnected for non-payment (for example). Integration to some degree will be required with WFM and OMS for this purpose.
Mention that SA design has capabilities to work with the WFM & OMS

5. Today’s Demo Thank you to Milton and Veridian
for allowing us to use their interval data
Thank Milton & Veridian and mention we are using real live interval data

6. Today’s Demo From the perspective of the dashboard

And finally we will show you

11. Smart Assistant Operational Data Store
Overview of operation

12. Smart Meter Experience
Worked with early implementers of Smart Meters by helping them store and analyse the interval data coming from the AMCC
Newmarket –trail and early implementation
Horizon – trial and early implementation
Milton – implementation and current MDM/R report interpretation
Veridian – trial, pre MDM/R implementation
Emphasis our expertise

13. Smart Assistant Suite Methodology
Use as many standards from the planned MDM/R as possible to avoid duplication for LDC
Use industry standard software where possible
Keep the ‘nice to have’ features to a minimum
Develop applications as identified by user
Review our methodology

14. Smart Assistant Suite is ready now!
AMI interface fully compliant with Sensus & Elster as well as others
Dashboard showing AMI performance indicators with drill down working

Provide up to 90 days after signing contract to cancel if SA does not work as claimed
Bonus features

29. The path planned for you by the Government

33. Smart Assistant Suite
Receives synchronization files from CIS and set up account/meter expectations
Receives CMEP/Elster interval data files from AMCC and processes the kWh into database
Provides reports & exceptions from high level to detail in accordance with the IESO/MDMR standards
Applies the Ontario Standard VEE process to all interval data with reporting at the same level as the MDMR

34. Smart Assistant Suite
Synchronization files from CIS are required at some point but not required to start using SmartAsssitant
CMEP/Elster interval data files from AMCC are required but an interim custom interface can be developed
Dashboard is available and working now
Meter event tracking is available and working

35. Smart Assistant Suite Allows drill down to actual problems
Allows edit of problems and recreates a CMEP/Elster file for reprocessing
Accepts billing request file (MDMR pull) from CIS and then reports on status of accounts requested
Prepares the billing response file (MDMR pull) and provides the report of accounts billed/not billed
Transfers the billing response file back to the CIS

36. Smart Assistant Suite
Using web based PowerView all/any interval data (VEE hourly) can be
graphed,
aggregated,
costed by HOEP or RPP TOU
compared
overlayed
Using Smart Assistant billing module a comparison bill (RPP to RPPTOU) for any meter can be prepared
All data can be exported or printed

37. Smart Assistant Suite Since the Smart Assistant Suite uses the same file and report structures that are in use by the IESO MDM/R
IT development for the smart Assistant Suite is reusable when you enrol in the MDM/R
Staff trained for SmartAsssitant will be trained for the MDM/R
No custom interfaces are required to be abandoned when you switch to the MDM/R

38. Smart Assistant Suite Since the Smart Assistant Suite uses the same file and report structures that are in use by the IESO MDM/R
All costs associated with the development setup and interfaces for SmartAsssitant should be recoverable.
CIS Vendor should have most standard interfaces already developed.
Transition to MDM/R should be easy.

39. Smart Assistant Suite
After MDM/R implementation Smart Assistant accepts reports from the MDMR and presents them in a readable format allowing drill down to actual problem
Edit of the problem and a creation of a new CMEP\Elster file for export back to the MDM/R
notification of report receipt and errors to user selected responders
