"I want to build Mobile Apps on Azure for consumers & Utilities; to enable real-time water consumption insights."

The client wanted to integrate CDMA based Smart Water Metering system with Azure Table Storage. Data visualization at real time was the core requirement and more to that developing such system to run as cross-platform compatible mobile application added to the challenge. The system should give a Dashboard view for Water-meters installed across the US and mobile apps showing consumption charts for customers to view. The mobile app further can be configured for alerts and notification at the consumer end.

To make data easily available, client wanted the mobile application to cater diverse mobile devices and platforms. With limited display space on offer, maximum relevant information be made available to individual user. Most importantly the system to be developed must give analytics on the fly regarding water consumption and generate alerts on certain conditions.
