Summary
ENXSuite, which has some 24 announced customers, competes with start-ups Hara Software, which launched last year, and C3, a still stealthy company with Tom Siebel and Condoleezza Rice on its board. The companys software enables businesspeople, either financial executives or sustainability officers, to track usage of electricity, gas, water, waste, or greenhouse gases.
