Itron Named in 2020 Gartner Market Guide for Meter Data Management

February 08, 2021

As a trusted, proven leader in meter data management (MDM), Itron manages data from more than 45 million meters representing 100+ energy and water companies across six continents. We provide data management outcomes for smart utilities and cities around the globe, while delivering mission-critical data to support applications for meter-to-cash and beyond—all through an enterprise-wide, highly scalable Itron Enterprise Edition (IEE) MDM solution.

Itron is excited to announce that we were recently cited as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for Meter Data Management (login required), which provides insight into the MDM market as well as on MDM solutions providers.

Key findings of the guide include:

  • “Metering has evolved from being just a component of the revenue cycle processing (meter to cash) to an enterprise function that supports multiple core processes such as product innovation, customer management, asset management and commodity management.
  • The meter data management (MDM) market has matured, but solutions continue to be offered by vendors with different legacies (metering, enterprise software, Internet of Things [IoT]).
  • MDM is a vertical version of an IoT platform built specifically for the metering purpose. Consequently, MDM vendors are aspiring to become more generic IoT platform providers, while IoT platform vendors are eyeing the utility market to address vertical metering needs.
  • Access to accurate, low-latency granular consumption data ingested, persisted and disseminated by MDM is critical for utility digital transformation.”
