CHICAGO, IL., October 10, 1999 - As part of a new corporate identity program since its recent acquisition by the National Grid Group plc, Teldata Inc. is now referred to as Teldata Solutions. The new name announced at the AMRA Symposium in Reno, Nevada more accurately reflects the direction of the company. Additionally, a new logo, signifying universal solutions, is accompanied by the theme statement: "The difference between metering and managing."

According to Teldata Solutions President and CEO, Mr. Graham Nicoll, "Teldata has for a long time been recognized as a major metering provider, and this was a fine image to have back when metering was the focal point of the marketplace. But now that Teldata's technology has evolved, it's time to Move beyond the meter. It's time we as a company started to talk about the complete set of tools we offer and our abilities in application engineering. We have the ability to show our customers how to capture load data in all of its unlimited configurations, enabling them to at last make informed decisions, enabling them to act now to Reduce energy-related costs, compete more effectively, and plan for the future."

According to Mr. Nicoll, the company's expertise in the realms of Automatic Meter Reading (AMR), Customer Information Systems (CIS), and Energy Data Solutions (EDS), are strengths the marketplace has yet to learn about.

"There is certainly a difference between metering and managing," Mr. Nicoll concludes. "Our challenge is to connect with the many decision makers who understand this profound difference; because those are the same decision makers who will see in us the kind of people and technology support they need."
