Enemalta and the Water Services Corporation, Malta’s two largest utility companies, used to operate two separate in house ICT systems. In order to extract information out of these systems, custom SQL queries were written and then the data merged manually. In order to make their workflow more efficient, the two companies underwent a holistic transformation process known as the Integrated Utilities Business Systems (IUBS) programme, composed of a number of ICT projects.
Skios’ skilled B.I. experts aided in the implementation of their BI portal (IBM Cognos and SAP BW) which provided the utility firms with clear insights on their day to day metrics and utility consumption of the Smart Grid.
Skios’ IBM Websphere experts also implemented the Smart Utilities portal which gave the utilities a new method of revenue. Previously, the utility firms depended on cheques and customers physically coming to their office to pay their bills.
