CUCULUS REVIEWED IN GARTNER’S MAGIC QUADRANT STUDY FOR MDM

ZONOS MDM SYSTEM COMPLIES WITH STRINGENT REVIEW REQUIREMENTS

Cuculus GmbH, a developer of smart metering and home control solutions, announces that it has been reviewed as one of 13 “top of mind” vendors for Meter Data Management (MDM) Systems in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant study.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant study provides an informed update of vendor's positioning in this fast growing emerging market based on a customer oriented market analysis. According to the latest study, Cuculus is positioned as a 'niche player' along with 10 other MDM suppliers in the quadrant.

Cuculus’ ZONOS platform is a comprehensive Advanced Metering Management (AMM) and Meter Data Management (MDM) system with easy to use features that enable utilities to implement and operate smart metering while also providing the functionality to provide appealing end-customer services based on smart metering data. The system is open and can work within existing utility system infrastructure, providing customers with the freedom to choose their preferred meter type and communication infrastructure.

Kjartan V. Skaugvoll, CEO of Cuculus, commented: “Many of our customers rely on Gartner research and analysis when deciding which firm to partner with for their smart metering systems as it is one of the most important and influential global studies. We expanded our organization successfully throughout last year to meet with fast growing customer demand. We are delighted to be part of such an influential study and see it as a transition into what is the equivalent of having qualified for the Champions League for MDM - demonstrating that we are an attractive option for utilities investing in smart metering systems, both within and beyond the markets we currently serve.”
