Hi All,

I'm new to this forum and an investor in BUD (I believe it has a great future).  I've also been doing some research on possible competitors, as I can't believe that the big utilities and software providers will let Buddy Platform and Ohm have a free run at the market.

There are Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS), software providers and utilities that seem to offer similar products to Buddy Ohm and Buddy Platform including:

- www.firstfuel.com
- www.oracle.com/industries/utilities/index.html
- www.oracle.com/industries/utilities/products/index.html#meter-operations
- www.oracle.com/industries/utilities/products/opower-energy-efficiency-cloud-service/index.html
- www.oracle.com/industries/utilities/products/analytics/index.html
- www.eonenergy.com/for-your-business/large-energy-users/energy-solutions

These are big players.

How does Buddy Platform and Ohm compare, compete and differentiate from the above and others?
