Editor’s note: Perhaps one of the biggest issues facing electric utilities as they build out the Smart Grid and deploy smart meters is how to manage the resulting data surge. In collaboration with Accenture, a global leader in Smart Grid consulting, SGN presented the High Performance in Data Management webinar. As a follow-up, Accenture experts responded to many of the audience-submitted questions that weren’t answered during the event due to time constraints, including the following.
