PrimeWeb v5
The Web-enabled presentation of utility interval data has
become a primary requirement in the modern utility environment. Regulatory requirements as well as
the needs of important customers who insist ever-more forcefully upon access to
data require today’s utility to provide state of the art Data Presentment and
Reporting tools for various uses.
Today’s Data Presentment and Reporting System must be more than just an
expensive database viewer. It must
provide the ability to display all manner of data, in meaningful ways, and in a
secure environment where those data can be fully controlled by the utility yet
usefully utilized by the customer. A
modern utility’s state of the art Data Presentment and Reporting Tool must go
far beyond what was once considered acceptable; that is a simple viewer designed
for the fixed format presentation of interval data. It must now be flexible and useful!
Today’s truly sophisticated Data Presentment and Reporting
System must possess the functionality and the flexibility to facilitate the
logical, multiple hierarchical rearrangements and re-processing of complex data,
and to facilitate the grouping and the analysis of those data pursuant to the
business rules of both the utility and the utility’s customer. The system must further facilitate
trend and pattern analysis. It must
also allow secure manipulation of the viewed dataset without the possibility of
corrupting the archived dataset.
Then, it must be capable of interaction with external datasets through complex
import/export functionality.
Finally, it must be fast, agile, and available; and it must provide all of this
functionality in a secure Web-based environment at an affordable price. Fortunately, utilities do have access
to such a Data Presentment and Reporting System at that competitive price. We call it PrimeWeb v5.
PrimeWeb v5 is the latest, most up to date release of the
PrimeStone Energy Suite’s ever-evolving PrimeWeb Complex Interval Data
Presentment and Reporting System. A
completely Web-based application (there is no software component on the
user-side machine; all functionality is managed by a standard Web browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer). PrimeWeb v5 delivers the complex functionality
one expects of a full scale business intelligence software solution at a small
fraction of the cost.
PrimeWeb v5’s efficient and wholly intuitive user interface
facilitates the usefulness of this powerful application. The utility associate, the authorized
customer, and/or anybody else given access can, in a very few minutes, become
comfortable and productive working in the user friendly application environment
provided by PrimeWeb v5.
Since network and data security are of paramount importance in
today’s world, PrimeWeb v5 has been architected with the highest levels of
network security. Secure
transmission of interval revenue data are assured by way of sophisticated
encryption technology. Access to all
data are fully password protected at multiple levels. The utility, through flexible
business rules implementation, controls field level access to all data, and
personnel level access to every aspect of the system. That means the utility can pick and
choose who has what levels of access to what data, what data are available to be
viewed by whom, and even when those data are to be made available. Also, all data are Read-only data. With PrimeWeb v5 the utility’s vital
granular interval revenue data are never at risk of alteration or corruption,
accidental or otherwise.
PrimeWeb v5 also includes complex graphing capabilities. Tabular data may be manipulated,
filtered, included, excluded, factored, scaled, etc. then output (exported) in a
dizzying array of industry standard formats (xls, csv, txt, etc.). These same data may be graphed
on-screen, to a printer, or to a fax server, or to a graphics plotter, or to any
desired output device. Graphs may be
scaled, dimensioned, colored, overlaid, layered, expanded, interrogated, and
otherwise “drilled into” to provide utility associates and/or customers with the
types, conditions, and formats of data that are of most value to that individual
or group. Once those datasets have
been created, complex reports in a staggering availability of configurations may
be generated based upon those data.
These reports may be confidential or public, alterable or fixed, automated or
manually generated, periodically generated or one-time only, maintained locally
or e-mailed to thousands of recipients, all at the control of the owner of that
report and/or the individuals to whom control permissions have been granted; and
all ultimately under the control of the utility.
The PrimeWeb v5 Data Presentment and Reporting is a giant leap
ahead of most of the other Data Presentment and Reporting Systems used by
utilities to make data internally and externally available.
