Silver Spring Networks

Silver Spring Networks offers Smart Energy PlatformTM, enabling utilities to improve energy efficiencies, enhance services, and reduce costs. The job it does: managing your IT, from help desk to infrastructure, as an outside partner.

It makes the most sense for small and mid-sized companies. They also list Communication Hardware, Energy, Energy Efficiency and Web Hosting, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a large company team themselves (501 to 1,000 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. At that size expect formal onboarding, documentation and a longer sales cycle.

Silver Spring Networks is based in Redwood City, California and founded in 2002. More on silverspringnet.com.
