Ovum Reports that C3 Can Spark Explosion in Energy Management Solutions Market

Energy and emissions management software solution provider C3 has the ability to lead the enterprise energy management software industry, according to Ovum (News - Alert).

C3’s solution package has a number of capabilities that stem from its developers' focus from day one on energy management, Ovum said in its report entitled, "C3 (News - Alert): Can it Spark an Explosion in Energy Management?"

"Rising energy costs and market volatility have made energy management a higher corporate priority than ever before," said Warren Wilson, lead analyst for Energy & Sustainability Technology at Ovum, in a statement.

"Especially for companies in energy-intensive industries, IT solutions that enable fine-grained control and optimization of energy supplies and consumption can provide significant savings and competitive advantage," Wilson added.

According to Ovum, to energy-intensive industries such as power generation, refining, chemicals processing, and manufacturing, C3 offers a compelling value proposition. Though its early customers are large organizations, C3's offering can meet SMBs' needs as well, and the vendor intends to target that market.

C3's energy and emissions management software solutions include C3 Energy, C3 Mitigation, C3 Incentives, C3 Sustainability, and C3 Foundation.

"We are honored that Ovum, a respected independent research firm, has chosen to recognize C3 with a full report on its capabilities and its value to customers," said Ed Abbo, president and CTO, C3.

"We at C3 believe that the financial, operational, and environmental benefits of strategic energy management make it a compelling proposition for forward-looking organizations and municipalities," Abbo added.

Recently, C3 announced an alliance with Science Applications International (SAIC (News - Alert)). SAIC offers robust, scalable, secure solutions that provide large commercial, industrial, and utility businesses, as well as government departments and agencies with the ability to better manage energy and emissions. SAIC will leverage the C3 solution to model, analyze, and optimize energy use at its own facilities.
