The MDMS solution enables continuous collection, validation, processing, and storage of electric usage data and events and ensures that this data is accurate, reliable, and readily available for billing and analysis.
Landis + Gyr Technology Inc. is the current provider of these services. The MDMS solution and its maintenance and support service agreements are proprietary to Landis+Gyr Technology Inc. and not available through other contractors.
Without this contract, Austin Energy would be unable to maintain the storage and management of meter data, leading to disruptions in meter data collection and storage.
