Informatica Solutions for Energy and Utilities

Cleansing and Integrating Disparate Data to Respond Effectively to Dynamic Market Conditions

Energy companies and utilities have undergone massive change in the past decade. Privatization and deregulation was followed by consolidation and a collapse in market valuations. With limited IT budgets, unpredictable market pricing, and challenges managing aging infrastructure, companies in the energy and utilities industry are focused on streamlining business operations and ensuring compliance with government and industry regulations.

While these companies are rich in information and IT solutions, they are often unable to leverage the full value of their data, which is often locked in disparate silos across the organization. The quality of the data in these silos is often poor. Supply availability, system capacity, and real-time market price metric data from multiple sources must be accessed, discovered, cleansed, integrated, and delivered to the right place at the right time to drive key business initiatives such as:

  •  Reducing costs by increasing operational efficiency by integrating new systems with disparate IT infrastructures, and by ensuring that legacy data is properly understood, cleansed, and converted to meet the parameters of newly installed systems
  • Establishing a robust regulatory compliance framework by pulling data (e.g., emissions, pricing, and trading information) from many disparate sources to simplify and accurately report on regulatory compliance issues, while ensuring that frontline managers and executives have real-time access to reliable, high-quality information
  • Improving responsiveness to industry changes by harnessing data that is locked in individual information silos throughout the organization and creating a set of common, flexible data services that can support multiple operational systems
