"Oracle continues to be a leader in the HEMS market by leveraging innovative technologies to redefine and expand the scope of home energy management for both utilities and the customers," said Hannah Bastian, research analyst at Guidehouse Research. "The company's continuous advancements in technology, combined with its track record for delivering energy savings, have earned it the top spot on our HEMS leaderboard."

Continued global leadership
The Guidehouse Research report scored 10 HEMS providers on their strategy and execution based on their vision, go-to-market strategy, partners, technology, geographic reach, sales, marketing and distribution, product performance, product portfolio, and support and services.

Oracle remained the leader in this space based on its strategy and its advanced, integrated technologies. According to the report, "Oracle has proven its ability to not only execute on its forward-looking vision and go-to-market strategy but also deliver its HEMS at a market-leading scale." Oracle was also noted for its holistic technology benefits compared to the other providers. According to the report, "In particular, the company's commitment to advancing its HEMS technology and its ability to leverage the broader Oracle IT platform to develop comprehensive utility systems gives the company a unique advantage in the market and earned it a high score for Technology criterion."

With approximately 200 utility customers, Oracle holds the largest user base of any HEMS provider. According to the report, "Oracle has a proven track record of not only maintaining and growing existing customer relationships but also entering new global markets."

Unmatched customer value
Since 2009, Oracle has delivered over three billion personalized communications and helped consumers save over 40 TWh of energy and more than $6.6 billion on their energy bills. Guidehouse Research recognized that Oracle continues to demonstrate its ability to deliver consumer engagement benefits beyond energy savings. Oracle Utilities continues to focus on helping organizations operate efficiently within an increasingly complex, distributed grid landscape. In addition to this current evaluation, Oracle's efforts have led to #1 vendor rankings in the most recent versions of Guidehouse Research's Digital Customer Engagement and Experience Analytics, AI Vendors for DER Integration, and Smart Meter Analytics reports.

"We all know that overall power demand is forecast to rapidly expand, but the industry is not confident that we can do it in time and affordably. This is creating urgency among our utility partners to provide the right insights and guidance to help customers take more control of their energy bills," said Matt O'Keefe, group vice president for Oracle Utilities. "The Guidehouse Research report shows how Oracle remains ahead of this curve by combining predictive analytics, proactive alerting, load shifting, and rate engagement to empower customer action. There remains a huge opportunity—and pressing need—to change energy behaviors to drive down costs while helping utilities meet grid resiliency objectives."
