IEE MDM is an industry leading MDM solution and is a highly scalable enterprise application to centralize the collection, processing, storage and analysis of meter and utility data. As a leading provider of solutions for utility metering, Itron leverages a managed services model for data collection and delivery of decision support insights in an on-premise and a cloud deployment model with IEE MDM. We have continued to invest in this important and impactful solution that enables utilities to derive key operational value through outcomes such as:

The 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Meter Data Management Products stated: “The market considered for this Magic Quadrant consists of utilities seeking products for managing metered consumption data. Metered data managed in these products can be used across the enterprise and shared with customers, partners, market operators and regulators.” The report defined MDM products as “IT components of the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). These products are responsible for cleansing, calculating, providing data persistency, and disseminating consumption and event data obtained from meters installed on delivery points.”
