  3. You will get payback for reducing latency if you have… • Global operations • Merged with another utility • Aggressive competitors • Large, complex business portfolio • Dynamic supply chain • Deregulated

  4. What is the energy company payback? • Improved global supply chain management • Plant optimization • Improved trading risk management • Increased customer satisfaction • Reduced outages • Faster outage restoration

  5. What is the Infrastructure payback ? • Increase virtual capacity of the grid • Increase manageability of the ISO/RTO infrastructure • Reduce cost of energy by improving market operations • Increase timeliness and quality of information to market participants • Detect and reduce inappropriate trading behavior

  6. Zero Latency Enterprise • A Zero Latency Enterprise is one that • “exploits the immediate exchange of information across geographical, technical, and organizational boundaries to achieve business success.” Roy Schulte, Gartner Group Fall 1998

  7. What is your tolerance for Latency? High Tolerance for Latency Competition ZERO Casual Critical Business Process

  8. The Technology paradigm shift • Traditional: Extract business data into off line data warehouse for analysis • New Way: Cache live business transactions in operational data store (ODS). Access, analyze and respond to business information in real time- as it happens…without impacting performance of transaction systems.

  11. Zero Latency Example-Teleco • World’s largest e-business demonstration • Up to 15 Billion Call detail records per day • 180 days of history • Customer Service inquiries, data mart • Applications: • Surveillance by authorities • Customer billing • Customer Service inquiries by 40,000 agents • Credit verification • Large ad hoc queries • Customer usage analysis (data mining) • One to one marketing with real-time information

  12. In Summary • You can dramatically improve business performance by reducing information latency. • New technologies can bring the Zero Latency world of real-time energy operations into everyday business management…and bridge the gap between the two
