During that time there have been changes in both the Texas Market business processes and technologies including development of solutions such as Smart Meter Texas and implementation of 15 minute interval data. Therefore it is an opportune time to strategically realign AMIT projects and requirements to be the most effective based on the critical needs of the newly evolved Texas Market.
