ENTERPRISE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

The impact of data to address the challenges of the Electric Utility Industry becomes a new set of challenges that can be opportunities for growth.

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) addresses those opportunities and challenges. It is defined through a framework encompassing Vision and Strategy, Governance, Core Processes, Organization, and Infrastructure. Xtensible helps utilities develop your strategy which takes you from your current state to your desired future state in an orderly manner through our EIM framework.

With nearly two decades of thought leadership and support in developing utility standards for data management, working with both the Business and IT, we help utilities establish:

VISION AND STRATEGY Defines where the organization needs to go and how to measure success. GOVERNANCE Establishes policies and the steering committee to make needed decisions. CORE PROCESSES Defines and anchors how data is managed and integrated at data, user, and business levels. ORGANIZATION Addresses key performance indicators, success factors as well as roles and responsibilities, and deployments. INFRASTRUCTURE Selection based on standards and best practices for making data assets widely available for business operations.

XTENSIBLE ENTERPRISE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK STARTING POINT

Our Enterprise Information Management (EIM) Framework encompasses five key components: Vision and Strategy, Governance, Core Processes, Organization, and Infrastructure.

XTENSIBLE MATURITY MODEL

Through decades of experience with utilities and their data, Xtensible has established an EIM Maturity Model based upon our EIM framework to establish the roadmap for enterprise information management aligned with utility vision. It is used to plot current and future state for utility business domains.

SET THE TARGET IDENTIFY THE GAPS

Identify substantive gaps between current and future state using our Planning Model and ask:

• What does business strategy suggest should be done?
• Should this gap be closed? Why? When? How? Why not? In the future?
• Which capabilities in the organization are involved?

Building the EIM Foundation for the Smart Grid

There is no question that the right approach to EIM drives individual and organizational performance and profitability. EIM enables standardization of business integration and intelligence while ensuring relevant and timely information is delivered to business users in a form that they can understand.
