DECEMBER 2018CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM6DECEMBER - 08 - 2018UTILITIES TECH SPECIALEditorialCollaboration Is the Best BetJoe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipThe utility sector is undoubtedly one of the greatest beneficiaries of the recent IoT boom. The permeation of sensors into oil, gas and power plants has helped decision makers gain real-time insights and enabled them to make more effective decisions as compared to a few decades ago. Thus, the advent of IoT and several other trending technologies has played a great role in elevating the capabilities of utilities. However, many other challenges continue to plague the utility sector that need to be resolved at the earliest. Aging workforce is one of the most prominent of these threats posing the utility space today. The dearth of young talent to carry the legacy of talented veterans could quite adversely impact the utility sector. Adhering to frequently changing compliance guidelines has proved to be quite a task for utility enterprises today, prompting them to seek the assistance of leading solution vendors. The aforementioned challenges lead to the inference that collaboration with technology solution providers is the best way forward to eliminate traditional hassles that dampen the growth of most utilities today. In the wake of constantly scaling utility sector challenges, our editorial board has compiled the list of the Top 25 Utility Solution Providers for the US that are creating waves for tailoring innovative, holistic solutions. This edition of our magazine highlights the benefits of collaborating with these innovative players which could be of immense help to enterprises in pursuit of ideal vendors. We hope this effort of ours helps readers yield rich dividends. Copyright © 2018 ValleyMedia, Inc. All rights reserved.
