ENTERPRISE VERTICAL ARCHITECTURE

Utilities & Energy

NERC CIP-compliant grid infrastructure — smart meter analytics, GIS/SCADA cloud integration, AMI system migration, and time-series ingestion for generation, transmission, and distribution operators.

Utilities & energy infrastructure stack

From SCADA historian migration to smart grid analytics — reliable, compliant, and grid-synchronized.

NERC CIP & compliance
NERC CIP Electronic Security Perimeter (ESP) network segmentation auditCIP-007 system security management: patch compliance tracking dashboardCIP-010 configuration change management with diff alertingCIP-013 supply chain risk management: vendor SBOM trackingEvidence collection automation for NERC CIP reliability standards audits
SCADA & OT integration
SCADA historian migration: OSIsoft PI → cloud time-series (TimescaleDB)DNP3/Modbus/IEC 61850 protocol gateway to MQTT bridgeOT network unidirectional data diode for EMS/DMS systemsReal-time grid state estimation data pipeline (ICCP inter-utility exchange)Alarming and event correlation across SCADA and IT monitoring systems
AMI & smart metering
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) head-end system cloud migrationSmart meter data ingestion: 15-minute interval reads at millions-of-meter scaleMeter Data Management System (MDMS) API integration (Itron, Landis+Gyr, Xylem)Outage detection: last-gasp event stream processing for real-time outage mappingVoltage quality analytics: sag/swell/harmonics detection from AMI data
GIS & asset management
Geospatial model validator: topology check for distribution network GIS dataAsset lifecycle management for T&D infrastructure (poles, transformers, cables)Mobile crew dispatch with offline-capable GIS field app syncLiDAR point cloud processing for vegetation management and line clearanceDamage assessment workflows integrating satellite imagery and field reports
Customer & billing

Primary Economic Drivers
  • $OSIsoft PI Server migration to cloud time-series can remove historian hardware and PI licensing per operational region.
  • $NERC CIP audit automation can reduce evidence collection and reporting labor each compliance cycle.
  • $AMI head-end cloud migration can remove dedicated HES hardware while enabling real-time outage detection across the meter estate.
  • $Consolidated OT/IT monitoring can replace several separate SIEM and monitoring tools with one view of grid security.
