Topic Overview
This conference is ideal for government personnel who have an interest in better understanding how information regarding the performance of all utility types and the relationship with business drivers are keys to managing costs and meeting compliance goals. Most organizations have numerous disparate systems, tools, and local expertise but no method of managing and tracking the energy purchasing and performance of an enterprise as a whole – whether at a site, region, national or worldwide level. This presentation provides the concepts and methods necessary to provide your organization with a solution capable of serving the various needs at all levels of the enterprise.
