IT/OT Services
Olameter provides Information Technology and Operational Technology services for its own workforce, as well as for our utility clients and their contractors.
Trust the Best in the Business for Top-notch IT and OT Support Services
Information Technology (IT) refers to the process of monitoring the status and controlling the performance of the tools and infrastructure used by our employees, as well as by our utility customers or their contractors. This includes the following elements:
- Software applications
- Servers and adjunct devices (power supply, cooling systems, etc.)
- Wired and wireless communications networks
- Edge devices that are connected to those networks
Operational Technology (OT) is concerned with the day-to-day monitoring and operation of the utility's distribution network itself. These include the Distributed Energy Resources (DER) that are connected to it, and may very well belong to the ratepayer rather than the utility. The kinds of devices involved may include:
- electric vehicle chargers
- HVAC thermostats
- solar panel inverters
- battery storage units
- valves & reclosers
Olameter currently supports a number of vendors' proprietary signaling platforms. Ideally, all of these devices will migrate to a standards-based open-sourced IoT Platform as this simplifies systems integration.
