OVERHEARD ON INTELLIGENTUTILITY.COM “Smart grid represents a great investment for any utility, and they are understandably reluctant to implement a system that does not meet future specifications. The risks ... increase with the pace of innovation launches. Results may vary from paralysis of analysis ... to selections from suppliers that are based solely on price rather than best fit [for] current and future objectives.” » JOAO GOMES, “SMART GRID—VISION AND FOCUS” “Because smart technologies enable more dynamic and bidirectional flows of information and more interaction between suppliers and consumers, the possibility for unauthorized third parties to gain access to sensitive data must be minimized.” UTLITYANALYTICS.COM » MICHAEL JOHN, “SECURITY: A PRIME FOCUS” This sister site to INTELLIGENTUTILITY.COM offers insights from the Utility Analytics Institute, the only organization for utility analytics.

OVERHEARD ON UTILITYANALYTICS.COM “The utility industry is moving along a path from simply managing massive amounts of new data to using the data to answer ‘what hap- pened?’ to eventually leveraging the data into intelligence that enables business units to function more predictively. This movement has really brought the people and process side of the challenge into focus, as it requires new skill sets such as data analysis and integration.” » MIKE SMITH, “THE ANALYTICS TWO-STEP” www.intelligentutility.com EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Kathleen Wolf Davis kdavis@energycentral.com 918.497.6658 SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR Phil Carson Editor-in-chief, Intelligent Utility Daily pcarson@energycentral.com 303.228.4757 FEATURE WRITERS John Johnson, Tim Probert COPY EDITOR Martha Collins ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES Ken Maness, Todd Hagen, Eric Swanson sales@energycentral.com 800.459.2233 ADVERTISING COORDINATORS Patricia Davis, Kendra Branch-Brett CUSTOMER SERVICE Cindy Witwer, 800.459.2233 ENERGY CENTRAL www.EnergyCentral.com PRESIDENT/CEO Steve Drazga CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER Steven D.
