eMeter EnergyIP MDUS Bundle Becomes An SAP-Qualified Business Solution

SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- eMeter, a global smart grid software platform provider and Siemens business, announced today that its eMeter EnergyIP MDUS Bundle is now an SAP-qualified business solution.  The solution provides integration between the eMeter EnergyIP information platform and SAP® for Utilities solutions, and provides the benefits of real-time energy usage information and enhanced metering services to utility customers around the globe.  This allows utilities to better leverage their investments in solutions from both eMeter and SAP AG (NYSE: SAP).

Through integration with SAP for Utilities, the eMeter EnergyIP MDUS Bundle will deliver additional choices and flexibility for organizations running SAP software. Even more, the use of eMeter EnergyIP with SAP for Utilities will help utilities to scale to full production levels. In addition, eMeter successfully completed the integration between a Meter Data Usage System (MDUS) and the SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP for Utilities. 

"Our partnership with SAP has already proven beneficial to utilities like CPS Energy," said Lisa Caswell, Worldwide Vice President of Alliances, eMeter. "The integrated installation at CPS Energy, the largest municipally owned utility in the United States, was seamless for the customer and dramatically reduced their AMI integration costs."

As an SAP-qualified business solution, the eMeter EnergyIP MDUS Bundle will provide utilities with a smart grid solution that offers integration with SAP AMI Integration for Utilities software. SAP-qualified business solutions are complementary to SAP software offerings and provide additional choices and flexibility for organizations running SAP software. An SAP-qualified business solution is developed or integrated in accordance with SAP development guidelines, has certified integration with the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform, and has undergone solution qualification by SAP to meet additional criteria. SAP-qualified business solutions address a specific business or technology focus, such as advanced metering infrastructure, and they have an established track record of successfully serving customer needs in the focus areas selected by SAP.

"Utilities are undergoing transformation and embracing new innovations in smart meter and smart grid technologies," said Stefan Engelhardt, head of Utilities Industry Business Unit, SAP AG. "In collaboration with our partners like eMeter in our expanding ecosystem, we are helping utilities customers embrace these new technologies, delivering improved efficiencies at a lower total cost of ownership. eMeter EnergyIP MDUS Bundle, now an SAP-qualified business solution integrated with SAP for Utilities, will help enable utilities to optimize utilization and maximize benefits of the smart grid, leading to reduced energy costs for consumers and improved customer competitiveness."
