CarbonSystems Recognised as Leader in Carbon and Energy Management Software

NEW YORK and LONDON, Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- CarbonSystems has been recognised as a leading provider of carbon, energy and environmental management software by Verdantix, an independent analyst research firm focused on sustainable business strategies and marketing opportunities.

CarbonSystems' Green Quadrant leader position is based upon an independent, fact-based comparative analysis of the world's leading companies offering carbon and energy software applications using a 99 weighted-criteria model.

"As the market for carbon and energy management software grows buyers find it difficult to generate a shortlist from over one hundred that exist in the market today," said David Metcalfe, Director of Verdantix. "Buyers look for proof of value from previous deployments but with the infancy of the market this can often be difficult.

"CarbonSystems' position in the leaders quadrant was underpinned by the breadth and depth of their client base, which ranges from large multi billion dollar organisations to smaller, emerging clients. The company has successfully transitioned from its Australian heartland, securing customers in Europe and the United States," said Metcalfe.

Verdantix concluded that the world's leading companies were differentiated from their peers by having more advanced carbon management and energy saving tools, a more compelling customer base, fully featured solutions, best-in-class functionality, greater organisational and financial resources, and stronger strategic partnerships. CarbonSystems was also recognised among 'best in class' vendors for data and audit security, and customer momentum.

Commenting on CarbonSystems' leader designation, David Solsky, chief executive of CarbonSystems said: "This new report reinforces the benefits that our technology is delivering to over 100 customers. Our innovative, automated data capture tools, combined with a best in class security and assurance model, ensure customers can reduce the time and cost of managing environmental data, and deliver financial grade compliance and business reports on demand."

"For firms that currently consume significant amounts of energy the risks of price volatility can have a material financial impact," said David Metcalfe. "For firms with an energy management focus Verdantix recommends turning to the software suppliers such as CarbonSystems that have strong energy management and meter integration functionality."
