The Data Processing System 2000 (DSP2000) is a
software system for acquiring and processing meter data, from electrical, gas, and water meters. The meter data is stored and processed so that billing determinants can be calculated for periodic transfer to a billing system. The billing system generates the bills for energy or resource consumers.
The development for DSP2000 was done at four sites in three countries. SCR staff acted as project manager and lead architect, and developed one component for this project. The product is currently being successfully sold and distributed. This section describes our experience with the DSP2000 project as it relates to GSD, section 3 then highlights some of the lessons learned from our experiences with GSD projects, and section 4 describes planned next steps towards improving the state of the practice of GSD within Siemens.
