Itron Recognized as a Leader in 2016 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Meter Data Management Products
Position based on completeness of vision and ability to execute
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, announced today that, for the fourth consecutive year, it has been named to the leaders quadrant in Gartner Inc.’s Magic
Quadrant for Meter Data Management (MDM) Products1.
“Itron Enterprise Edition (IEE) MDM is evolving to meet the needs of an IoT world, where more data processing and analysis is
taking place in edge devices rather than solely in MDM systems and the back office. This means supporting a broader range of
devices, data sets and protocols than just metering and having the intelligence and business flows to enable analytic processing to
take place where it makes the most sense,” said Bruce Douglas, senior vice president and general manager of software and services
at Itron. “We are proud to again be named as a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Meter Data Management Products and be
recognized for our leadership in meter data management.”
IEE MDM is a mature product with a broad functional scope and robust validating, editing and estimating (VEE) capabilities,
Gartner reported. The industry-leading solution is in production at 76 utility companies with more than 38 million cumulative
meters. Itron’s IEE MDM and related analytic outcomes are delivered via the cloud using a managed services model, called Itron
Total Outcomes, in which Itron manages all aspects of a utility’s data collection, network management and analytics. Tightly
integrated analytic applications include voltage analysis, transformer load management, theft and tamper detection, customer
portal, customer service representative portal, and grid reliability analysis, which are all offered via the cloud.
Gartner’s research evaluated 14 vendors’ ability to execute and completeness of vision. According to the report, “leaders in
this market normally are included on shortlists for MDM products for all types of utilities worldwide. They should perform
profitably, grow their revenue and have a presence in all major markets. Their functionality must be above-average, and their
technology and scalability must be leading-edge. They must offer an MDM product that supports the functional needs of utilities
operating in multiple market structures (integrated and unbundled), and focuses on customer-related, asset-related and
market-related consumption data use. Because of the diverse drivers for AMI and MDM deployments, buyers worldwide continue to have
a wide-ranging set of needs and wants that challenge providers to develop a single product that is equally appealing to buyers in
different regions.”
