Summit Energy Enhances dashboarDView Online Sustainability and Energy Management Software

March 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Summit Energy, a subsidiary of Schneider Electric, is pleased to announce the newest release of its proprietary, online sustainability and energy management platform, dashboarDView (DV). DV provides Summit clients with secure access to the energy and environmental data, reports, and summaries that drive their enterprise energy and sustainability programs.

“Our continuous commitment to our clients led to the development of the latest DV enhancements,” said Steve Wilhite, CEO of Summit Energy. “We’ve been collecting feedback throughout the development process so that we not only meet, but exceed our clients’ needs and expectations. We are extremely pleased with the initial response.”

Among DV’s most exciting new features is its ability to respond to individual users’ preferences with increased configuration options. DV offers each user a completely customizable homepage, the option to view DV in one of more than 10 different languages, and dozens of currency and unit-of-measure options to meet the diverse needs of Summit Energy’s global client base.

DV also provides users unprecedented visibility into their data. It transforms information at every level of the organization – carbon emissions, resources, cost and usage, program activity, etc. – into enterprise-wide business intelligence. This information illustrates emissions and waste reductions, savings achieved, costs avoided, resources mitigated, and risks managed as measured by key performance indicators. It also makes accurate reporting to key internal and external stakeholders more efficient.

Perhaps the most significant additions to DV come by way of new, optional functionality. Depending on each client’s needs, several modules and upgrades are available to address a wide variety of abatement concerns through improved project management, goal setting, forecasting and scenario planning. Other modules give users the ability to create custom charts through business analytics in real-time with a drag-and-drop interface for any stream, data series or metric managed in DV

By combining analysts for quality assurance and data management capabilities, DV now represents a new offering in the crowded software-as-a-service (SaaS) market: SaaMS, or software-as-a-managed-service. Companies that require audited and verified data accuracy will value DV’s new capabilities, while companies whose data needs can be met by standard SaaS will continue to find DV a fast and flexible business tool.
