Report Date: December 2010 For buyers of meter data management software in the energy and utilities sector, we map vendors products offered in this emerging market. Gartner started covering the meter data management (MDM) market in 2007 with an initial vendor/product assessment of what was then an embryonic software market. An increased industry interest in advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) led to its faster adoption, and consequently, to the maturing of AMIs IT component, MDM. Consequently, in 2008, we started to use a more formal vendor assessment framework - the MarketScope - for this emerging market. The MDM market continued to mature rapidly in 2009 and 2010, driven predominantly by a significant level of capital investment in the U.S. utility sector through the U.S. government Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) program. With MDM now in an adolescent phase, this year, we are using Gartners Magic Quadrant framework to position vendors in this increasingly important utility IT application market.
