In the GTM Research report, The Emergence of Meter Data Management (MDM): A Smart Grid Information Strategy, eMeter was named the overall leader in meter data management (MDM), ranked ahead of both Oracle and Itron. The report stated eMeter earned the top spot based on “the strength of its overall MDM platform” and because it is “rapidly building out a line of related software products.”

Gary Bloom, CEO of eMeter, says, “We’re pleased that Greentech Media has recognized eMeter as having the strongest product in the market. This is further validation by yet another internationally-recognized analyst firm that eMeter has the leading Smart Grid information platform. We look forward to working even more closely with our customers to ensure they and their consumers receive the benefits that can be gained from the Smart Grid.”

The report noted that eMeter’s EnergyIP “has clear advantages in the open market where multiple entities need flexible access to centralized system-wide meter data” because it enables utilities to rapidly deploy meter-to-cash, as well as serving as a flexible platform “upon which utilities can add other applications such as deployment planning, automated provisioning and asset tracking.”

Chet Geschickter, analyst-at-large at GTM Research and author of the report, adds, “The MDM market continues to grow at a rapid pace, thanks to planned smart meter rollouts and enhanced product offerings from MDM vendors. eMeter stands out in the market with its best-of-breed technology approach and best practices for utilities to adopt as they deploy their unique Smart Grids to their customers.”
