3 Agenda Systemgroup Introduction The Integration Challenge Smart Metering/ AMI Integration Challenges MDM/R Integration Challenges Middleware/ESB as a Solution Question and Answer

4 Systemgroup Overview Founded in located in Mississauga Customized business solutions in 4 competencies: Award Winning Solutions: 2009 Finalist for Business Intelligence Solution of the Year 2008 Canadian Partner of the Year for Business Intelligence Solutions 2007 Canadian Partner of the Year for Business Intelligence Solutions 2005 Canadian and Global Partner of the Year for Integrated e-business Solutions

5 Industry Experience Systemgroup has worked closely with our Utility clients to build and deploy rugged and resilient enterprise solutions using the Microsoft Application Platform. Some of these solutions include: SOA & ESB (Service Oriented Architecture and Enterprise Service Bus), EAI/B2B Solutions Smart Meter Integration Solutions (AMI, MDMR) Data Warehouse, Analytics and Business Intelligence Solutions Internet and Intranet Development, Smart Client, e-commerce, Portals & Collaboration

6 The Integration Challenge IESO MDM/R Utility EBT/MTM Finance Bank AMI Metering Field Force Mgmnt Field Force Mgmt Co

7 The Integration Challenge Key concepts for today s discussion: 1. Smart Metering/ AMI Integration 2. MDM/R Integration 3. Middleware/ESB as the Integration Solution Terminology: Enterprise Service Bus (ESB): Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

8 Oleg Gorchkov, Practice Director SOA and Business Process Systemgroup Consulting Inc.

9 Integration Challenges and Needs Evolving business needs: New B2B partners Customer service improvements, e-commerce Regulations and system specifications (MDM/R, CIS, AMI etc.) Legacy system upgrades and meter deployments Systems must be automated and run consistently

10 Integration Challenges and Needs New mindset for TOU implementation: Large volume/frequency of interval metering data Data transmission deadlines Error and exception handling Fault tolerance etc

11 The Integration Challenge IESO MDM/R Utility EBT/MTM Finance Bank AMI Metering Field Force Mgmnt Field Force Mgmt Co

12 Enterprise Integration Solution EAI Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) EDI IESO B2B Utility AS2/FTS MDM/R Field Force Mgmnt XML EBT/MTM CIS SWIFT Bank AMI Finance DOC1 Print House

13 ESB and EAI Middleware Platform Enables Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and powers an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Rich support for standard communication protocols and formats, (i.e. XML, FTP, HTTP, SOAP, EDI, SQL) Data transformation and mapping Orchestrating business processes and activity monitoring Robust, scalable runtime infrastructure with administration and monitoring

14 Smart Meter, TOU, MDM/R Challenges Variety of AMI vendors and systems ITRON, Sensus, Elster, Trilliant etc. Basic integration means (export/import) Proprietary data formats Must integrate with MDM/R and CIS Multiple AMI systems co-existence, multi-system integration

15 Smart Meter, TOU, MDM/R Challenges MDMR challenges: AS2 protocol for MDMR FTS Software must be Drummond certified Data transmission deadlines New B2B integration requirements

16 Smart Meter, TOU, MDM/R Challenges Provisioning challenges: cross-system meter provisioning business process meter registry synchronization and QA

17 Smart Meter, TOU, MDM/R Challenges IT operational challenges: reading data quality and error handling must integrate with other systems - EAI, B2B runtime job schedule synchronization fault tolerance and re-process mechanisms

18 The MDMR Integration Process File Types 1000 / 2000 Universal SPD ID Request / Reply CIS File Types 3000 Periodic Audit Synchronization File Types 4000 Incremental Synchronization 1.Manifest 2.Asset Data 3.Premise Data 4.Service Agreement Data 5.Parameter Data 6.Relationship Data 7.Meter Reads Data 8.Component SDP Data MDM/R File Types 5000 / 6000 Billing Quantity Request / Response Send SP updates Receive Status Send Universal SDP ID AMI 7x00 File Type - Interval Meter Reads

19 The MDMR AS2 Connectivity Solution

20 The Middleware/ESB Solution

21 The Value of an ESB/EAI Platform The substation of automating dataflow and matching disparate system interfaces, internal or external A single platform for automating business processes and application integration Eliminates the point-to-point connectivity of applications Provides impedance matching between different data structures and communication protocols Provides visibility into an integrated business process

22 Take Action Build a flexible infrastructure now that will adapt to changes in regulatory requirements and business processes Use a middleware/ ESB platform with proven experience Select a partner Systemgroup - that understands process and application/ systems integration Build what you know, but plan for the future
