Smart Grid

---

Q: What do you get when you combine 309 million Americans, an aging analog power-grid, growing cyber-terrorism threats, and predictions that America’s energy use could double in the next 20 years?

A: Among other things, demand for smart grid technologies.

Smart grid initiatives represent a bold new world for America’s electric power companies. Offering a myriad of capabilities and benefits that have the power to transform the industry, smart grid technologies can help protect power plants from a wide variety of threats – from cyber attacks to natural disasters – while making it easier to communicate more effectively with customers.

With smart grid technologies, utilities will also be able to usher in new products, open new revenue streams, and develop entirely new markets. Smart grid will also help electric utilities efficiently accommodate a variety of energy needs.

Merging new smart grid technologies with today’s analog grid requires guidance from specialists who understand how to integrate and deploy a new generation of digital technologies.

As more smart grid initiatives power up, electric utilities across the country will be vying for the best talent, including specialists and consultants knowledgeable in:

• Systems Integration
• Industry Applications (ERP, CRM, SCM) Packaged Applications
• Transmission and Distribution
• Intelligent Networks
• Business Analytics
