Independent analyst Verdantix has claimed that CA Technologies, CarbonSystems, IBM, Schneider Electric and Verisae are the leaders in the global market for energy management software.
Its report - Green Quadrant Energy Management Software (Global) 2013 - reveals that these companies are the market leaders 'because of the breadth of their energy management software functionality, integration with a wide range of meters and controls, utility bill management, deep energy and industry domain credentials, established enterprise-scale customer bases and partnerships with systems integrators and consultants'.

Janet Lin, senior manager and co-head of the Energy Practice at Verdantix, said: 'Large firms such as AT&T, Google and IKEA have launched strategic energy management programmes to better manage growing energy costs, mitigate security of supply risks and benefit from the potential of decentralised renewable power generation. These new corporate energy strategies have created increased demand for enterprise-wide energy data aggregation, powerful reporting and analysis tools.'

The report compares 14 enterprise energy management software applications based on live product demonstrations, a supplier assessment and interviews with an independent panel of customers.
