What Keeps You Up at Night?
• What are the impacts of your technology choices…
– In ongoing operations, support and upgrade costs?
• How do you stay current with the velocity of
technology changes…
– To future-proof your acquisition decisions?
• Technology acquisition decisions could be improved
with more knowledge…
– In collaboration with other utilities
– Leveraging practical advice of industry experts in trusted
forums
– …if you had the time & resources to keep up with new info

Technology Decisions Have
Impacts Beyond Operations
Missed opportunities, second-guessed technology
decisions, and deployment missteps can cause:
• Questions from regulators about utility technology
roadmaps
• Friction and delays in utility decisions from ratepayers,
taxpayers, and voters requiring more information
SGIP helps you avoid these outcomes

p: 781-876-8857 | e: info @SGIP.org
• Supports the freedom to
choose and to change
• Underlies future
economic well-being
• Demands the private
sector take charge and
not just be observers
Interoperability Is Not an Entitlement,
but…

applications
– Enables substitution of automated components
– Provides an upgrade path that preserves system operation
– Increases opportunity for multiple vendors to compete
– Allows for easier integration of new capabilities & features
