    Subject: Do You Have Experience with AMI/MDM?

    Hello Data Science Community Members,

    I hope all is well! I’m currently working with a member from Santee Cooper who is interested in hearing from utilities & vendors on their experiences with AMI/MDM. With several members having experience implementing AMI and MDM I wanted to circulate within this community and gather any input.

    Debbie from Santee Cooper put together a quick survey both utility and vendor members can take. It would be a huge help if you can take a few minutes to complete the survey below, Debbie is even happy to share any results with you and your teams!

    For utility members, please use following link:

    For data analytics providers/vendors , please use following link:

    https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WZN8VBK


    * Target Response Submit Date: Tuesday, March 2, 2021


    Thanks in advanced for your help and let me know if you have any questions!
