SAN ANTONIO, July 1, 2025 /CNW/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Siemens has been awarded the 2025 Europe, Middle East, and Africa Company of the Year Award in the smart water meter data management (MDM) industry for its outstanding achievements in digital innovation, operational efficiency, and customer impact. This recognition highlights Siemens's leadership in delivering intelligent, scalable, and vendor-agnostic water MDM solutions that help utilities optimize operations, engage customers, and support long-term sustainability.
Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: visionary innovation and customer impact. Siemens excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align innovative smart water MDM solutions with real-world utility challenges while executing them at scale. "Siemens has strategically transformed MDM from a back-office billing tool to a front-line enabler of data-driven water management," said Fredrick Royan, vice president of research at Frost & Sullivan. "Its Gridscale X Meter Data Management platform brings together high-frequency data capture, AI-powered insights, and flexible deployment models—setting a new benchmark for utility digitalization."
Guided by a long-term growth strategy centered on digital transformation and regional partnerships, Siemens has demonstrated its ability to navigate complex markets and sales cycles. The company's investment in cloud-based SaaS infrastructure, regulatory-compliant cybersecurity, and machine learning for anomaly detection has empowered utilities across EMEA to adopt next-generation MDM at scale.
Innovation lies at the core of Siemens's value proposition. Gridscale X Meter Data Management, formerly known as EnergyIP® MDM, serves as a central hub for real-time data processing, high-accuracy billing, and customer engagement. With capabilities such as non-revenue water analysis, low-flow detection, and integrated customer portals, the platform turns raw meter data into actionable intelligence.
Siemens's unwavering commitment to customer experience further strengthens its market position. By offering utilities flexible deployment models—from on-premises to SaaS—Siemens meets diverse operational needs while minimizing IT complexity. Its intuitive interface, automated VEE processes, and integration with AMI Head-End Systems and CIS platforms streamline operations and improve customer outcomes. Notably, Siemens has achieved 99.9% data accuracy and reduced daily operational task completion times by 85% for utilities leveraging its MDM system.
Frost & Sullivan commends Siemens for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company's deep domain expertise, multi-commodity integration capabilities, and strong customer support model are helping utilities modernize infrastructure, minimize losses, and increase consumer transparency—cementing Siemens's leadership in the smart water MDM market.

Royal Homes Acquired by New Management Group; Housing Production at Wingham Plant Set to Multiply
WINGHAM, ON, July 2, 2025 /CNW/ - Royal Homes Limited, Ontario's longest established housing manufacturer, has been acquired by a management group led by industry veteran Sid Kerrigan, the long-time President of Brookfield Residential's Ontario housing division. After 55 years developing an immensely respected housing brand, producing and delivering high-quality custom homes out of its 115,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Wingham, Ontario, the Royal Homes franchise now enters a bold new chapter aimed at addressing Ontario's growing housing crisis. "Our market needs a faster, more efficient way to construct and deliver new homes, and Royal Homes will play a lead role in driving that innovation forward", said Kerrigan. "Though we will remain focused on delivering the highest-quality custom homes, our plant has significant available productive capacity, so we will partially pivot towards more repeatable housing designs, across a range of built-forms. "We will expand our dealer network throughout Ontario and build upon our many valued relationships with municipalities and First Nations communities in order to fast-track housing supply to those areas with the highest need". To scale up the business, the Wingham manufacturing facility will see a significant financial investment that is expected to create hundreds of new jobs over the next three to five years - strengthening both the Company and the local economy. " Royal Homes is an integral part of the Wingham community. We are committed to growing our investment and productive output in Wingham while generating high quality jobs and meaningful housing solutions," Kerrigan added. Financing for this acquisition was led by BDC, BDC Capital and CIBC. Founded in 1971, Royal Homes is a factory home builder based in Wingham, Ontario. Known for precision-built custom homes, the business has won numerous housing awards over the years, is registered with both HCRA and Tarion, and has built and delivered thousands of homes to families across the province.
