Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is one of the foundation pillar of Smart Grid. It is not only designed to collect, analyze live data and bring losses down on monthly basis but it has host of other benefits to consumers which leads to an adaptive, intelligent, smart and collaborative grid. Effective implementation of an AMI project encompasses much more than installing just the smart meters like any other conventional metering projects. An AMI project will succeed only when three pillars of the project viz. Technology Selection, Contracts and Execution and Operation—form an equilibrium. This is where the role of a Systems Integrator is so very important. Indore AMI project covering 120,000 Smart Metering nodes is well accepted as the most successful project in India so far in similar size. This paper brings out the Key Success factors of the project from an SI’s perspective. It deliberates on the possible challenges faced in all the three areas of Technology, Execution and Operation and how a deep-rooted Project execution methodology and customer collaboration helped to anticipate, handle and mitigate challenges. The paper also brings out clearly how the choice of SI is directly linked to the success of a project of this nature and how it tracks and helps to achieve an attractive Return on Investment (ROI). These learnings can be emulated to all other AMI projects to achieve a fast and successful rollout.
