Is this an issue with a specific cloud application provider, or with AWS, Azure or Google? How widespread is this problem?

Subject: Contracting Language

Hello all!

We are struggling with being able to access our own data from cloud based solution providers.  We need some clear legal language that allows us access to our own data, when we need it, without additional fees.  I have heard other utilities say they have accomplished this with appropriate contract language and a refusal to do business with any vendor that does not comply with their standards.  Does anyone have any experience or legal language they would be willing to share? How has this worked with the larger vendors like Oracle?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Enterprise Analytics Community Members,

Happy New Year and I hope all is well! With January just kicking off, I wanted to reach out and get you excited for our January (2022) Enterprise Analytics Community Conversation. On Thursday, January 27th at 1:00 PM CT, we will be joined by Beth Massey, PhD, Director, Connected Analytics at The Energy Authority (TEA), who will be leading a discussion around, How Data Analytics can Drive Strategic Thinking Across the Utility. I’ll be providing more information on this session one week prior to our meeting but you can always learn more about each of our upcoming Community Conversations on our Events Page HERE.

Our latest IT update allows me to send meeting placeholders directly to your calendars through my alternate email address kpraet@sg.utilityanalytics.com. I sent out invitations for this community, and each of our other communities, at the end of last month. If you did not receive a calendar invitation let me know so I can help troubleshoot. As this seems to be an issue with some of our members’ firewalls, we recommend whitelisting my new email address kpraet@sg.utilityanalytics.com to ensure any invites don’t go to your spam/junk folders.

Again please let me know if you have any questions/concerns or do not have a calendar placeholder on your calendar.

Thanks and I look forward to connecting with you all this month!
