Anatomy of an Outage Panel Discussion: Leveraging Data for an End-to-End View of the Outage Experience


 
What if you could have a three-dimensional view of each customer’s outage experience? In this session, learn how leading utilities are bringing together operational and customer data to gain insights on the customer outage experience from beginning to end – including the important touchpoints, pain points, and each long silence that leaves customers figuratively as well as literally in the dark. Learn from those who are doing this work themselves as well as those who are leveraging industry partners.
