Overview

This IDC Energy Insights report presents a vendor assessment for the North America distribution management system (DMS) market. The research methodology, called an IDC MarketScape, relies on quantitative and qualitative characteristics that explain a vendor's success. This study assesses the top 6 technology vendors competing in the DMS marketplace in North America. The six vendors in this report are Ventyx (an ABB company), Alstom Grid, GE Energy, Oracle, Siemens, and Telvent.

The report is valuable for NA utilities that are evaluating DMS vendors to meet their distribution network management requirements. The evaluation is focused on meeting the emerging and future DMS needs related to utility smart grid investments.

"Distributed generation, energy storage, renewable resource, and PHEV charging create a need for manageable two-way power flow in the distribution grid. The needed changes require tighter integration between control systems and enterprise systems at a business level and granular field data at an operational level." — Marcus Torchia, research manager, Intelligent Grid Strategies
