Solutions
The evolution towards smart homes offers many benefits, both for energy suppliers and their customers. Suppliers may benefit from improved customer attraction and retention as well as differentiation, lower customer service costs and new revenue streams. Customers may benefit from reduced off-peak pricing, micro-generation opportunities and increased visibility into their energy consumption.
In order to realize these benefits a multitude of smart devices such as displays, smart appliances and home energy management systems are needed. Many vendors will offer smart home devices, either as off-the-shelf products or complemented with services. However, the complex task to integrate these products and services with your business applications is left to you, hampering your time to market and your ability to roll-out new customer oriented services.
