LIBERTY LAKE, Wash. -
January 5, 2012 - Itron, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ITRI) announced today that BC Hydro has gone live with
Itron MDUS, Itron's meter data management system for use with
SAP® for Utilities solutions, and is currently collecting data
from 400,000 meters. By the end of 2012, the system will
collect data from over 1.8 million meters. The MDUS
system combined with the Itron smart metering system being
deployed by BC Hydro provides the utility with a complete
end-to-end smart grid solution.
The installation at BC Hydro marks the first and
largest system integration of an MDM system for SAP Utility
AMI solutions with Enhancement Pack 5 (EhP5) in the
industry. Other Itron customers, such as London Hydro,
among others, are deploying this version of Itron MDUS. With
Itron MDUS, these utilities have a flexible system to
implement business processes, utilize smart meter data in
existing processes and enable new services.
"The robust functionality of Itron MDUS, coupled with Itron's
participation in the SAP Lighthouse Council and
pre-integration work with SAP, made Itron's solution the
clear choice," said Gary Murphy, Chief Project Officer, Smart
Metering Program, BC Hydro. "BC Hydro's smart grid program
required the use of SAP capabilities, which Itron MDUS
supports. We see this release of Itron MDUS and its status as
an SAP-qualified business solution as a commitment to help us
achieve our program goals today and into the future."
As an SAP-qualified business solution, Itron MDUS has been
developed and integrated in accordance with SAP development
guidelines. It has been certified for integration with the
SAP NetWeaver® technology platform and has undergone solution
qualification by SAP to meet additional criteria. Itron has
created a platform for its customers to succeed in their
smart grid initiatives without limiting the use of their SAP
solution capabilities. With Itron MDUS, utilities can support
existing billing processes, develop new energy
conservation and customer engagement strategies, and capture
operational information to help optimize the electricity
grid.
"Itron is committed to making our customers successful by
delivering end-to-end solutions," said Matt Owens, director
of product marketing. "Our MDUS initiative and our larger
partnership with SAP embodies this approach. Itron's
development has maximized the services MDUS supports to
provide utilities access to the most comprehensive set of SAP
for Utilities solutions capabilities on the market today."
