PowerPlan Launches Data Hub API to Enhance Data Analysis Flexibility and Control for Energy Enterprises

Atlanta —On January 4, 2023, PowerPlan, Inc., a leading provider of financial software and solutions for the energy industry, announced the launch of its latest technology solution, Data Hub. Data Hub is a proprietary collection of SaaS APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) designed specifically for the demanding data needs of utility and energy companies.

Data Hub ensures that PowerPlan data is easily accessible, understandable, and quickly usable by business units through an intuitively organized database. Its web service APIs are carefully curated to present the most commonly used data in easy-to-understand labels, making it easier for both business users and IT personnel to bring PowerPlan data into data warehouses, business intelligence (BI) tools, spreadsheet applications, or other data processing programs. With a simplified data model designed for reporting and analysis, teams can fully leverage the value of their data without needing to write SQL or become data experts.

This simplified and clearly organized model helps accelerate onboarding for new employees and data users, while enhancing user confidence in data accuracy and analysis results, which is especially important for companies facing evolving compliance requirements and increasing regulatory scrutiny. Like all of PowerPlan's new enabling technologies, Data Hub is compatible with both on-premises and cloud environments, offering companies maximum flexibility in their unique cloud transformation journey.

"Our customers, regardless of size, are experiencing the challenges of a data-driven daily life," explained Suzanne Ward, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at PowerPlan. "They are being asked to centralize data faster than ever, distribute accurate and up-to-date data to stakeholders, and integrate it with other cloud systems. Their goals include increasing efficiency, scaling, gaining deeper strategic insights, and the single source of truth that many enterprises seek. However, this goal also brings complexity, such as how to operate at scale, ensure data security, integrate with other financial platforms, and access data on demand and present it in a business-consumable way. With Data Hub, we have done the heavy lifting for our customers, addressing the challenges of managing and integrating their PowerPlan data."

In addition to reducing workload and complexity, IT departments can be confident that Data Hub employs state-of-the-art security technologies to protect data in transit and at rest. These self-service data resources mean fewer disruptions and fewer third-party vendors for IT to manage, while making it easier to support the enterprise's overall data strategy.
