It is complemented by application extensions that analyze usage and event patterns, turning data into insight for the business. The MDMS is offered through flexible delivery models as a standalone enterprise solution or aligned component of a vertically integrated solution.
The MDMS supports event analysis to improve outage detection and theft detection, and also can support prepayment rollouts. It can be implemented and managed by the utility or selected in either a SaaS or fully managed service model. As a crucial component of the Landis+Gyr innovative advanced analytics platform, the MDMS can scale to levels that readily accommodate the readings, events, commands and reports processing requirements of smart utilities.
