As software technology advances, utilities may have to figure out how to do the same
Energy News Network: Utility customers have seen their services upgrade over the past several years, from analog meters to smart meters, for electric, gas and water. But on the back end of all those upgrades, utility companies themselves are facing their own modernization challenges, particularly when it comes to their internal software systems.

One question now is whether utility companies will also get on board.
