Overview

This IDC Energy Insights report evaluates the vendors supplying meter data management (MDM) applications to the utility market. This report covers vendors providing MDM to the utility industry to support smart metering initiatives. Smart metering is delivering exponentially greater volumes of data that can be used to support a whole range of offerings to customers. At the same time, this wealth of data can be mined for operational and business intelligence. Meter data management is a must-have technology for energy companies implementing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

According to Jill Feblowitz, practice director of IDC Energy Insights, "Scalability is the most important criteria for assessing the MDM. Utilities want to be confident that when they scale up from pilot to systemwide implementation of smart metering, the MDM will be able to handle increased volumes of meter data and process it quickly."
