Mā ngā taputapu me ngā ratonga whatunga a Silver Spring ka huri te hanganga whatunga hiko hei whatunga atamai, ka āwhina i te whakahaere pūngao whai hua.

I kī a Itron kei te whakamahere rātou ki te putea i te whakaaetanga, e tika ana kia kati i te mutunga o te tau 2017, i te tīmatanga rānei o te tau 2018, mā te whakakotahitanga o te moni me te tata ki te $750 miriona i roto i te nama hou. Kāore i roto i te uara o te whakaaetanga o te $830 miriona te $118 miriona o te moni a Silver Spring, e ai ki ngā kamupene.
E matapaetia ana ka arotahi ngā kamupene whakakotahi ki ngā whakatinanatanga o ngā tāone atamai me te hangarau whatunga atamai. I raro i ngā tikanga o te whakaaetanga, ka hokona e Itron a Silver Spring mō te $16.25 i te hea i roto i te moni. Ko te utu he 25-ōrau te utu tāpiri atu i te utu kati a Silver Spring i te Paraire. Kei a Silver Spring ngā tūāpapa Ipurangi o ngā Mea mō ngā ratonga me ngā tāone nui. Tata ki te $311 miriona te moni whiwhi ā-tau a te kamupene. E hono ana a Silver Spring i te 26.7 miriona ngā taputapu atamai, ā, e whakahaere ana i aua taputapu mā te tūāpapa Pūmanawa-hei-Ratonga (SaaS). Hei tauira, kei a Silver Spring he tūāpapa rama tiriti atamai ahokore me ngā ratonga mō ētahi atu pito.
