Cloud based energy management software

10 Reasons to use Cloud Based Energy Management Software

By SATEC (Australia) Pty Ltd | Featured, Industry News | Comments are Closed | 6 February, 2022 | 5

On the climbing Manufacturing 4.0 economy, cloud based energy management services are clearly determined to add value to the supply chain.
The obvious benefit is accessibility, losing traditional enterprise mainframes for Cloud access on iPhones, Android and when using desktop – just web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge etc.

There has been a recent spike in energy regulation hence necessitating the need for energy management tools. Since most utility companies and energy managers need to be able to manage and serve the client’s energy from anywhere in the world, these tools have become a must-have. Efficient energy management is important for any industry that is dependent on energy and as a result, cloud-based energy management software is the best.

Cloud computing comes with a massive amount of advantages, therefore, allowing service providers to be able to meet the varying desire of their client. In this article, we will discuss the 10 reasons why cloud-based software should be used by companies to support their energy management practices.

1. Accessibility

It is the most obvious reason why companies use cloud-based software for their energy management practices. With the help of cloud-based systems, clients can store, access or analyze information from different sites using one application. In energy management, it is important that users have constant access to their data or dashboard anywhere and anytime.

2. Security and Mobility

With services in the cloud, the companies get more than just storage, they also get security. Cloud computing solutions not only guarantee data backups but also take advantage of the security investment of the cloud computing service provider.
Working in the cloud not only means working safely but working safely from anywhere with the capabilities of an employee in the office. With accounting systems in the cloud, it is possible to manage budgets, orders and projects in mobility.

3. Competitiveness

The cloud allows energy management companies access to first class technologies. It also allows smaller companies to develop more agilely than larger and more established companies. Companies that do not use the cloud have to rely on strict, complicated, slow and cumbersome procedures that users of cloud services do not have to follow or use, which allows small and medium-size companies to be able to compete with larger and more established companies.

4. Managed Management for Managers

No need to keep a machine-by-machine log of installed software. Applications in Software as a Service (SaaS) mode contain dashboards or news feeds on which all the actions of employees can be found. This is to facilitate the management of the software and user access.

5. Flexibility

Cloud software is accessible from any browser, so it’s easy to change if one of them does not suit the user. To facilitate easy choice, the majority of publishers offer free trials that allow discovering an application for free for a specific period of time thanks to a simple registration.

6. Better Ergonomics

Often traditional on-premises software are rarely updated, SaaS software however, offers much more intuitive ergonomics. Neat design and easy-to-use applications, most are inspired by the sites you use every day on the Internet. Users gain on training time with the use of these new tools.

7. No Need for Installation

To use a web-based software, users simply need Internet access. There is nothing to install on hard drive. Users can use SaaS software on all connected machines, including those that do not have drives.

8. Efficiency

SaaS applications are much cheaper than traditional solutions. This is achieved due to lower licensing costs during development, as well as due to a very large client base. SaaS uses many small and medium-sized businesses for which traditional solutions are not available due to the high cost.

9. Upgradeability

SaaS providers are constantly updating their solutions. And these updates are available immediately and without the need to mess around with all sorts of reinstallations. Often they are even free, but even when you have to pay, they cost significantly less than traditional solutions.

10. Ease of use

SaaS applications are very easy to use because they use the best practices and solutions. Moreover, users themselves can check in advance how successful this or that solution is – before the final update, the developer always gives users the opportunity to test the new features of the application.

    The Evolution of Smart Metering Standards: What’s Next for Compliance and Innovation?

    By SATEC (Australia) Pty Ltd | 0 comment

    Smart metering has revolutionised the way energy is measured, managed and consumed. With its ability to provide real-time data on energy usage, smart metering plays a vital role in modernising energy grids and improving the efficiency of energy markets. However, as this technology continues to evolve, so too must the standards that govern it.
