Utilities are looking to the latest data warehouse technology to solve operational, customer service, and regulatory challenges. Global Power Consulting has extensive experience implementing data warehouse technology to pull together disparate and legacy processes in strategically critical areas as well as migrating from mainframes to cloud infrastructure for cost savings and improved IT flexibility.
Master Customer Data Management & Retention
Utilities typically have billing systems that are not architected and designed to retain historical data longer than 12 months. Global Power Consulting has built data warehouses that have much larger data retention periods (for e.g. 7-years of customer data and usage data) and can easily scale with AMI implementations where data can increase 720 times higher for every single customer.
We meet a utility’s challenge to:
- Architect, design, and implement a Data Warehouse that fits business needs and fulfills regulatory requirements
- Design and implement a Master Data Management solution and ETL processes that are scalable, maintainable, and intuitive
- Program and project manage the implementation of complex Data Warehouses
Migrate Mainframe Data to Cloud for SAS Applications
Utilities have been using analytical software like SAS with a mainframe data layer that is costly to maintain. Global Power Consulting can architect and provide a cloud-based infrastructure to significantly increasing performance of analytics (once a month data to every 15 minutes) and scalability at a much lower cost.
We meet a utility’s challenge to:
- Set up a high-performing cloud-based data layer for analytics software
- Analyze legacy data structures to develop migration plan
- Migrate legacy mainframe data (MPP) to a cloud-infrastructure (HADOOP)
