The Utilities Portal People.
For utilities tasked with generation, transmission, or customer care, the pace of change has never been greater. Nearly every facet of the operational landscape is changing, and will continue to change at an even faster pace in the coming years.
Whether from Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), changes in asset management systems, smart grid initiatives, or renewables, data and information are flowing into, around, and out of utilities providers at a scale never before seen… and the challenge will only get greater. The industry is struggling with how to get the right information into the hands of the right people at the right time, while remaining compliant with ever-evolving regulation. To make it even more difficult, solutions built today must be robust enough to support the unseen challenges of tomorrow. Information is in silos and records are stored in multiple places within various systems. A one-size-fits-all portal solution will not adequately meet the needs of your unique environment. In fact, you’re not quite sure what your most important needs are.
Enter Ambassador Solutions, the Utilities Portal People. We are experts in developing customized portals to meet the varying needs of our clients. We begin by getting to know the people who will be using the portal – namely your staff, partners, and customers. With this information gathered, we are able to build a functional prototype of the finished product. Often times, users do not know what they want until they see and use an application. We invoke a leading edge process for visualizing the end solution and ensuring that it meets the unique needs of the target audience. Using simulation, we allow users to experience the portal and suggest additions and refinements BEFORE development, thereby eliminating the time and cost of rework. Once the prototype is finalized, we begin building your customized portal. Through expert use of the SharePoint platform and Microsoft Technology Stack, we can build a highly effective, audience-specific portal that aggregates information from your disparate systems and packages that information in a way human beings can consume it… all on a platform built to grow and expand as your needs do. This proven process leads to reduced costs, higher rates of compliance, and smooth operations.
