Nearly as old as the smart grid itself.

With a history that dates back to 2000, you might think Ecologic Analytics is a newcomer to the smart grid market. But when you discover that the first large scale deployment of smart meters connected via low bandwidth power lines also happened in 2000, you realize Ecologic Analytics was among the earliest pioneers – particularly within the North American market. Today, the Ecologic Meter Data Management System (MDMS) is the largest deployed and longest running MDMS software package in North America.

You see, the people behind Ecologic Analytics were among the very first to recognize the need for a meter data management system market. And that was way back in the late 1990s. The team came to the table with real-world utility and AMI experience. Understand our founders weren't upstarts. They were veteran professionals, who understood the utility industry on a firsthand basis.

Key points in Ecologic Analytics history:
