Geotargeting: More Analytics, Less Infrastructure
Submitted by meacott on Tue, 2014-07-22 19:48With an aging infrastructure stressed by a variety of factors from inclement weather to a decreasing number of operational power plants to heightened electric consumption levels, today's grid often struggles to achieve its core function – keeping the lights on and the power flowing.
