With the continuing proliferation of computer hardware and software, many utilities are facing the problem of system incompatibility and an inability to share and exchange information among systems, resulting in much duplication of effort. To avoid this in the future, open system architecture and common industry standards are being developed. A utility communication architecture for electric utilities, based on open system standards, is currently being modified for use by water utilities.
