Xtensible Unified Standards-Based Data Modeling (CIM)
Making Grid Data Manageable Through CIM Standards
Unified Standards-Based Data Modeling (CIM) gives utilities a clear, consistent way to organize and share their data. By using industry-recognized standards, organizations remove confusion and make it easier for systems and teams to work together. CIM provides a strong foundation for analytics, operations, and long-term planning, helping utilities make smarter decisions with data they can rely on.
Harmonizing Data Through Standards
Xtensible promotes a standards-based approach to ensure enterprise data is clear, connected, and trustworthy, helping to reduce inconsistencies and improve reliability across systems.
UNIFIED WITH STANDARDS
Utilities face challenges with inconsistent data formats and semantics that slow reporting and analytics, cause duplicated work, hinder technology adoption as data must be restructured and remapped for each system or application, and create communication gaps between business units. These issues also complicate regulatory reporting and increase the risk of errors and compliance problems.
Interoperability Through Standards
We advocate for standards-based technology solutions that enable organizations to achieve seamless interoperability across systems, applications, and processes.
- Utility standards training and enablement
- Data model assessment and gap analysis
- Semantic modeling and metadata management
- Governance and stewardship
- Integration and mapping
- Enablement analytics and AI from the unified model
Standards That Unite
By applying recognized standards, utilities eliminate ambiguity, improve interoperability, and ensure that all teams and systems work from the same trusted information.
- Reduced discrepancies across systems and teams.
- Reduced manual data handling.
- Connected applications and processes effortlessly.
- Trusted data turned into actionable insights quicker.
- Easier technology adoption without major data restructuring.
- Trackable and simpler compliance reporting
