FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Transforming the Utility Value Chain
Through Metering, Billing, CRM/CIS
June 1, 2004 - The second annual Metering Latin
America 2004, together with its co-located events, Billing Latin
America 2004 and CRM/CIS Latin America 2004 (previously called Metering,
Billing, CRM/CIS Brazil) is to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
from the 11 to 13 August 2004, at Le Meridien Hotel. The conference
is organized with the support of the Brazilian utility: LIGHT.
Utilities in the Latin American region face radical changes due
to privatization and restructuring. Competition, tight margins,
ownership issues, new players and regulatory challenges create an
environment where investments in metering and billing assets need
critical analysis.
During this three day international convention, over 50 international
experts will provide a key platform for the industry to discuss
the latest developments affecting this industry sector and will
examine new challenges, new strategies and new solutions for utilities
in the region.
The multi-track program will include discussions and presentations
on revenue protection, managing data across the value chain, regulatory
issues, public/private partnership, outsourcing, sub-metering, AMR,
prepayment, standards, testing, billing and customer management
technologies, integration, marketing and case studies.
Rui Mano, Principal Consultant of KEMA Consulting Brazil said in
support, “It has been a pleasure to see this good initiative
to come through and succeed, as this will benefit the whole sector
in Brazil and other Latin American countries.”
The 2003 event received excellent support and attracted high level
decision makers from the Latin American region. More than 270 delegates
from Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Caribbean’s,
USA, as well as the rest of the world, participated. Latin American
utilities have rated the convention as one of the best forums where
stakeholders can meet, exchange ideas and create new business opportunities.
Many organizations have endorsed the event. Presently sponsors include
Itron and SAP.
