It’s Logica, captain

European IT service company LogicaCMG has announced an interesting display for the upcoming CRM / CIS Europe 2006 event, namely its “metering expertise.”

At the event, LogicaCMG representatives will discuss the theme "Beyond metering – delivering smart value.” To wit, LogicaCMG energy and utilities specialist will present the company’s approach to smart metering, i.e. how integration, real-time data capture and management can add value to utility businesses.

LogicaCMG folks will also provide a demonstration of smart metering technology and how it integrates with other parts of the business in order to introduce "Smartering,” LogicaCMG’s overall smart metering methodology. The theory behind this awkwardly named approach assists utility companies in overcoming the challenges of smart metering and realizing benefits.

As a concrete example, company reps will showcase the LogicaCMG "Instant Energy" service which provides a complete end-to-end outsourced energy payment service for prepayment meters.

Company bigwig Alan Chandler, global manager, competitive market infrastructures, energy and utilities, will also be chairing session 14 of the conference, entitled "Emerging Technologies – What Does Tomorrow Bring?"

The CRM / CIS Europe 2006 event will be held at the Bella Center in Copenhagen on October 10-12.
