Energy
Managing Today and Planning for the Future
The energy industry faces a variety of pressures from regulatory compliance to the commercialization of new energy sources to graying of the workforce to asset optimization. To thrive in this turbulent, evolving industry, energy companies need business intelligence solutions to make decisions faster, with greater confidence using detailed, enterprise-wide analysis.

Energy companies use Mariner's Performance Management Scorecards and Dashboards to establish operational benchmarks, improve fleet and plant management, improve customer service, gain consistency among power plants, align objectives with department, business unit and corporate goals and establish a foundation for long-term process improvements. We help energy producers manage and improve key customer care, safety and reliability performance indicators.

  • Energy Dashboard Jumpstarts are trailblazing experiences for energy companies interested in exploring dashboards for enterprise-wide decision support. Jumpstarts serve as a risk mitigation strategy by bridging the gap between the abstract and the actual dashboard. It enables stakeholders to see, touch and interact with a dashboard, creating a common vernacular for stakeholders to further define their needs.

  • Energy Scorecard and Dashboard Solutions are for those energy companies and utilities that are ready to use dashboards to support their programs for continuous improvement. Mariner builds solutions to help you: establish and track key performance indicators for the stations; continuously manage key performance indicators from the team level through the department level; uncover areas of poor performance and develop possible remediation options.

Energy companies use Mariner's Enterprise Reporting and Analytics to improve decision making and: reduce lag time between learning about an outage and correcting it; gain greater visibility into the supply chain; spot trends and act upon them faster; and alleviate the need for rogue databases by providing a single version of the truth.

  • Energy Reporting and Analytics Jumpstarts are trailblazing experiences for energy companies that don't have a comprehensive reporting strategy or find their current reporting methods inadequate. This jumpstart establishes an enterprise reporting approach providing stakeholders with a prototype that they can see, touch and use to show what's possible while helping to uncover important business requirements.

  • Energy Reporting and Analytics Solutions are ideal for companies looking to move to newer versions of SQL Server or for companies that are looking for alternatives to expensive and complex reporting solutions. Our approach to enterprise reporting using the Microsoft Business Intelligence Platform, ensures that your solution is easy to use, administer and manage; aligned with your business processes and goals; a familiar working environment for your users; and a low cost option.
