Advanced Telemetry

dvanced Telemetry began by manufacturing and marketing its flagship remote
energy-monitoring software—and paying for the servers required for its customers’
Adata. The relationship between adding customers and paying for more rack space
was a serious barrier to expanding market share. Advanced Telemetry then moved its IT
infrastructure to Windows Azure, using Microsoft SQL Azure and Windows Azure. It also
switched to a new business model whereby OEMs can license an instance of its telemetry
software in Windows Azure, and then offer the product in new markets. This move reduced
IT infrastructure expenses by 75%, introduced new revenue from customization, reduced
marketing costs by 80% and turned the company into an agile, profitable operation that can
respond quickly to customers in any market.
Situation
Tom Naylor, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Advanced Telemetry, brought together
a team of developers in San Diego, California, to explore innovations in telemetry—technology
that enables remote measurement and reporting of information—for transferring data over
the Internet. The company received venture capital funding to launch in 2007, and Advanced
Telemetry went to market with its flagship product, the EcoView Energy Management System.
Targeted toward restaurants and convenience stores, the system includes an on-premises
touch panel that communicates wirelessly with intelligent thermostats and power meters, and
transmits energy consumption, temperature, and other environmental data over the Internet
