"An effective energy strategy requires an investment in robust software to aggregate and analyze energy data. C3's advanced energy management software platform provides an enterprise-class solution. For optimal results, highly specialized expert services to design, build, finance, and execute are a must," said Adrian Bowles, Principal Analyst with independent advisory firm Sustainable Insights Group (SIG411, LLC).
