Enterprise Semantic and MetaData Management At Work
Xtensible Client Journey
Xtensible has been working with this client for over 15 years and we are still supporting them in creating the 21st century power network for 15 million customers covering 50,000 square miles. Today their enterprise analytics platform generates 10 terabytes of data weekly.
Changes to the electric grid are necessary and will continue to be needed based on technology advancements and consumer expectations related to reliability and affordability as well as the growing global awareness of environmental impacts. Data model governance is a key factor in long-term success and sets the stage for future expansion and growth, an area where we have considerable expertise.
