Itron Highlights Collaboration with Microsoft on CityNext Initiative

Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona

During the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, Sharelynn Moore, Itron's vice president of corporate marketing and public affairs, discussed Itron's participation in Microsoft CityNext, a global initiative empowering cities, businesses and citizens to re-imagine their futures and cultivate vibrant communities.

Through the CityNext initiative, Microsoft and Itron will help leaders to do “new with less,” by combining the power of technology with innovative ideas to connect governments, businesses and citizens with city services that increase efficiencies, reduce costs, foster a more sustainable environment and cultivate communities where people thrive. As part of the initiative, Itron collaborated with Microsoft to design and deliver Itron Insights, an energy and water analyzer application. The Itron Insights application, based on Windows 8, provides cities with a clear view into energy costs, water revenue and expense and CO2 impact.
