Customer to Meter Overview

Oracle Utilities Customer to Meter is a next generation customer service and billing application that incorporates a modern meter data management system. This system is designed to scale with mass smart meter volumes while handling the complexity associated with a utility’s processes across multiple types of service, operating divisions, and jurisdictions. The new application components allow for traditional scalar meter functionality that is equivalent to prior versions of Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing; so, it can accommodate the many types of utility environments, and evolve with the business to include more advanced digital requirements.

The roles for each application area in Oracle Utilities Customer to Meter are defined as follows:
