HCL Technologies on Thursday announced the expansion of its Smart Grid partner ecosystem by entering into strategic alliances with eMeter and Tridium - two data management software firms focused on the smart grid market.

“These partnerships enable the integration of real-time data management and analytical software with HCL’s suite of services to help utilities transform their existing infrastructure from traditional power grids to smart grids more efficiently,” an HCL statement said.

The partnerships will also accelerate HCL’s strategy to become an end-to-end integration services provider to the utilities companies, it added.

“HCL has made a global commitment to utilities customers in enabling them to address their most pressing challenges by helping them assess and roll-out smart grid programmes in all the major power markets,” Mr Rajeev Sawhney, Global Head of Public Services for HCL Technologies said.

HCL will work with eMeter, an energy data management player, to increase the efficiency of data processing at utilities by providing a more secure, reliable distribution and consumption of energy.

A partnership with Tridium, a player in open platforms, application software frameworks, automation infrastructure technology, energy management and device-to-enterprise integration solutions, will help HCL increase operational efficiency of utilities by building and automating smart energy consumption management and control systems.
