EOH Energy Solutions & Analytics (EOH ESA) has concluded an agreement with Netinium International B.V. to resell and add services and products to Netinium's AMM+ smart multi-device management platform: a reliable and well-tested head-end solution for every type of smart meter and communication means.
EOH ESA primarily services public sector bodies such as energy departments, energy regulators and utilities with its own software, as well as complementary offerings from third parties. Located in South Africa, EOH ESA plans to sell and support projects in the African region, and through its wide EOH network of offices even has strong support capabilities for Middle Eastern opportunities.
Providing AMR/AMI services independently
Rob Surtees, Divisional Manager at EOH ESA, comments: "Our strategy has always been to provide automated meter reading/advanced metering infrastructure (AMR/AMI) services independently of any single meter manufacturer, and we have been looking in particular for a suitable AMI solution for quite some time. We believe Netinium to be the perfect strategic solution for us, as it fits into both the revenue and supply-demand balance areas as an AMI/AMR smart grid technology.
"With our expansion strategy beyond our traditional markets and looking to service new customers both within and beyond the South African borders, we believe the Netinium solution to be an excellent choice for us. While we have been one of the leading providers of AMR and related services in SA for the past 20 years, having our own metering data management solution (ENYGMA), Netinium provides a complementary offering, enabling us to make inroads into the rapidly growing AMI environment. We will be offering AMI as a new product/service on-site or, where appropriate, as a managed cloud-based service to existing customers (Eskom or EDM), as well as new customers (other African utilities with AMI strategies in place)."
Future-proof large-scale smart meter deployment
Fery Cser'ep, CEO of Netinium, is excited about this expansion of the footprint of Netinium: "With EOH ESA we have found a very knowledgeable partner to roll-out our product and vision for trustworthy and future-proof large-scale smart meter deployments. We are impressed with EOH ESA's technical and functional understanding of our market segment, as well as its reputation and products that complement our offering."
During the last months, EOH ESA has been trained on the Netinium platform and will be equipped to also add new meter adapters to the platform to support all specific needs and requirements of customers. Additionally, EOH ESA is capable of offering Netinium as an on-premises or cloud solution.
