| | December 20184CIOReview | |February 20185CIOReviewCloud and Mobile, Leading the Way EditorialEnergy and Utilities industry is increasingly reaching a high level of technology maturity. It is looking at how technology can reduce cost, drive efficiencies and enhance competitive advantage. There are several technologies at play buttressing their technology maturity curve. Predictive analytics is being used to describe any approach to data mining, making the tools accessible to business users. Smart grid development is expected to increase data quantity by several orders of magnitude, driven by a host of edge devices, as well as new IT and OT applications such as advanced metering infrastructure, smart appliances, microgrids, advanced distribution management, remote asset monitoring, event avoidance and self-healing networks. Virtually all new technology projects in utilities will require a combination of IT and OT investment and planning. More than any industry, the utility sector faces the challenge of the separation between IT and OT management, coupled with the importance of hybrid projects that link IT and OT systems. When it comes to cloud, although the utility industry trails other sectors in cloud adoption due to security and reliability concerns, solutions are beginning to emerge in areas such as smart meter, big data analytics, demand response coordination and GIS. Simultaneously, there is an evident readiness to harness the benefits of mobility. Lowering costs and improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the field force are the main drivers for utilities to deploy mobile and wireless technologies. The distributed nature of utility assets, combined with the need for more efficient asset management and labor use, makes mobility and supporting communication technologies high investment priority areas for utilities.
