Содержание курса
Utilities today are not only focused on just ‘keeping the lights on’—their operating mandate has expanded to broadly encompass the reliable and economical delivery of high quality, sustainable energy while maintaining ongoing augmentation endeavors within four key areas: Energy delivery, customer engagement, asset life-cycle management & optimization. The above vision has resulted in expanding the Smart Grid initiative in Utilities to include the adoption of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) Convergence (IT/OT Convergence), and a need for applicable architectures and solutions.
Fast Lane’s Internet of Things Sales Engineer Workshop – Utilities Vertical is an immersive five-day program for Cisco’s valued partners to gain the ability to articulate and align Cisco’s Internet of Things (IoT) Portfolio of Solutions to relevant use cases that are foundational to the business outcomes pertaining to the IT/OT convergence theme within Utilities. Participants will gain an in-depth overview of the Utilities IT and OT ecosystems, a deep understanding of Cisco’s IoT Portfolio and its relevant use cases, and the ability to align it to a business outcomes-focused IoT sales model.
