- Transitions to Siemens´ EnergyIP Meter Data Management Software-as-a-Service
- Updates system capabilities while reducing cost of ownership
- Increases staff efficiency by decreasing time spent on routine maintenance
- No-touch customer updates provided virtually with advanced cyber security protection
Silicon
Valley Power, the municipal utility for the City of Santa Clara, Calif., serves
a community of innovation and technology made up of some of the world’s largest
world-class high-tech companies. Serving thousands of municipal customers and
approximately 50 commercial data centers, the utility wanted to upgrade its older
version of EnergyIP Meter Data Management (MDM) solution. To do so it also
sought out solutions that would allow the upgrade without causing service
disruptions, increased installation costs, a steep learning curve for staff,
and cyber security and compliance concerns. Siemens’ EnergyIP MDM
Software-as-a-Service (MDM SaaS) helped address all of the utility’s
requirements. EnergyIP MDM SaaS conforms with Cloud Security
Alliance (CSA) STAR Level One cybersecurity guidelines. This registration
demonstrates Siemens’ commitment to organizational security as a trusted cloud
provider.

Protection (CIP) focused on Operations Technology (OT). Services provided by
the center will range from advisory to managed and research services, with a
mission to secure the advancement of a decarbonizing digital world. The team of
cyber experts based in Fredericton will support cyber and physical security
needs of Canada as well as projects in the US, Europe and the Middle East.
