Overview

Pinnacle was formed to respond to the challenge posed by the increasing volumes and complexity of data being generated by SmartGrid devices. This data is rapidly outpacing the limited capability of the IT solutions currently in use in Utilities. The company’s goal is to provide the foundation for a new generation of solutions, needed to both accommodate the greater magnitudes of data and to exploit it for the benefit of Utilities’ customers.
