The AMI Enterprise Task Force defines requirements, policies, and services, based on utility industry standards such as the Common Information Model (CIM), required for information exchange and control between the AMI Head-Ends, MDMS or MDUS and enterprise back office systems.
AMI-Enterprise (AMI-ENT) is a utilities led group under UtilityAMI and Open Smart Grid (OpenSG) within the UCA International Users Group (UCAIug). The AMI Enterprise Task Force defines requirements, policies and principles, best practices, and services required for information exchange and control between AMI related systems and utility enterprise front and back office systems.
AMI-ENT will lead to a set of utility-ratified requirements and specifications for the vendors to adopt and for utilities to implement, with the end state of open and interoperable AMI solutions. To that end, AMI-ENT will work very closely with relevant Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) such as IEC TC57 WG 14, MultiSpeak, and others to ensure that AMI-ENT work products are compatible with their directions and specifications and will be adopted as standards.
