Business Intelligence Dashboards have their limitations. Events
happen rapidly and unexpectedly it is being able to anticipate events
or react and mitigate around an event that distinguishes top
performers. Arguably, even real time data is not fast enough….we
need more time to formulate our response to changing events. We
now need continuous and very accurate forecasts. We need the ability
to model the impact of forecasts and response scenarios . Today,
decision makers are overwhelmed with news and data, but navigating
between events and Business Intelligence is a challenge.



                                          “I was watching my dashboard, I don’t
                                           know how this could have happened ! “

eiVia – meeting the forecasting & financial modeling
  challenges in the Environmental Energy Management Market

•Within Environment and Energy Management Market - the biggest challenge is
 forecasting long term energy consumption, cost and GHG emissions at both the
 top line and granular levels.
•The data dimensions usually include time, energy type, source, use, and
  location
•Organizations need to create a baseline forecast. If we do nothing, what does
  the future look like?
•They then need to model and Optimize CAPEx spending on energy Cleantech
  initiatives to take advantage of subsidies and rebates, lowering their operating
  costs and financing capital expenditures.
•eiVia’s multidimensional and hierarchical forecasting and modeling provides
these capabilities in one toolset.
•eiVia can add competitive advantage to your Energy & Environmental
  Management solution set.
eiVia’s Competitive Value Add for EEM
Areas of Impact:
• manage an organizations sustainability footprint.
• Set and meet sustainability goals
• Decision support around CAPEx asset investment.

Type of impact:
• Statistically baseline measures of energy (usage & cost), carbon emissions,
  water usage, and waste streams.
• Empirically forecast measures of usage in time series
• Model across measures for mitigation of market place changes.
• Model within a measure’s higherarchal structure for optimization.
• Model for optimization across measure and against goals by constraining any
  measure at any level in the higherarchy.
• Write back optimization and mitigation models to the data warehouse for
  reporting.
