Modernization Mandate n
Regulators push for flexible tariffs; customers wield rooftop solar; storms grow fiercer. Oracle's Utilities Cloud offers the backbone, but customization backlog and data silos delay benefit realization. nn
Edge+ Packs
Overview n
VSI's Edge+ library delivers 40 pre-built adapters–Green Pricing, Net-Metering Settlements, Low-Income Assistance, EV Time-of-Use–each deployable via Dev
Ops pipelines. A Golden-Data layer syncs Oracle CCS with CRM, OMS, and AMI using CDC, eliminating swivel-chair re-keying. nn
Outage
IQ Integration n
AMI blink counts plus weather RADAR feed ML models embedded in Oracle NMS, predicting line faults two hours ahead. Crews dispatch through Workforce Mobility; customer alerts update in CCS portals, shrinking complaint calls 30 percent. nn
DER & ESG Modules n
An incentives microservice tracks rooftop-solar credits, community-solar shares, and EV-charger rebates. ESG dashboards calculate avoided emissions, feeding sustainability reports. nn
Security First n
Terraform landing zones embed CIS hardening, Vault key rotation, and Cloud Guard drift alerts. Zero-copy analytics keeps PII in place while enabling OCI Data Science modeling. nn
Business Results n
A mid-west IOU cut CIS deployment nine months, trimmed call-center cost 18 percent, and lifted DER enrollment 10 percent. A municipal utility hit 99.96 percent SAIDI reliability, winning regulator accolades. Edge+ pricing flexes per module or outcome-based. nn
Edge+ transforms Oracle Utilities projects from multi-year marathons into sprint-paced wins–so utilities meet carbon, reliability, and experience goals simultaneously.
