What it does:
WeatherWise USA, Inc.® offers consulting services to energy companies, utilities, governmental agencies, and other
businesses along with behind the scenes support to consultants.
Large Problem Analytics consists of setting up and computing problems that are traditionally beyond the capability
of small and medium-sized consulting firms or resource-limited organizations. These services often combine large
hardware and software solutions to extend the reach of companies beyond their existing computer hardware and data
handling limitations.
Custom Systems Development involves setting up systems designed for end users within organizations. These systems
can be private-branded by the organization or incorporated into consultants’ offerings to their customers.
Application Hosting involves hosting software packages that require significant attention, such as nuclear grade
software, large engineering programs and interactive web programs linked to large databases. WeatherWise can also
provide support in enhancing the performance and functionality of existing programs.
Who can use it:
Energy, risk, marketing, operations, planners and logistic managers who lack access to large computational resources,
or whose resources are severely constrained.
Small to mid size consulting firms with custom modeling needs who do not have large computational resources or available
staff. These services can be rapidly implemented in the energy, utility, nuclear and financial risk management industries.
Services may also be of interest to consultants in social services and governmental support (i.e., the U.S. Postal Service)
where large scale statistical calculations and data reductions are required.
Traffic engineering and municipal planning consultants or consultants to real estate speculators can take advantage of the
rapid simulation capabilities to define the parameters of potential projects.
Description:
The types of analyses that can be performed are almost infinite and limited only by budget and imagination. Custom
software simulations and analytic programming may be executed in a very short amount of time. Interactive web programs
can be designed to collect data or search custom data from large databases. We also have the capability to host nuclear
and other engineering software that may be too large for ordinary systems.
The extent of implementation ranges from custom modifications and applications delivered in Microsoft Access and Excel
to analytic solutions involving various parallel computing systems linked to Oracle databases. Solutions may be
constructed rapidly using a prototype and modification methodology, avoiding delays in the project’s critical path.
Custom visualizations and data reductions for presentations may be performed also.
Computing solutions may be installed and operated at the customer’s site on their systems, or hosted at WeatherWise’s
facility. WeatherWise can operate and manage practically any software package for consultants. Our in-house consultants
can structure the solutions and subsequently implement them wherever desired.
WeatherWise specializes in:
Large Data Reduction, Analysis & Reporting
Using both custom programs for massive processing or modifying existing business software such as Excel and Access,
we can analyze critical operational data for your company. This type of analysis could be used to determine drivers of
profitability or costs, or improve and optimize processes. Other analysis involves identifying key marketing and consumer
factors that impact revenues.
Data Collection and Structuring within Databases
WeatherWise has the ability to manage very large data fields and databases, in Microsoft Access and Oracle, to allow you
to obtain an overall business view while considering all of the numbers. As an example, in marketing data collection,
custom data templates can be employed allowing “builds” of data structures that facilitate segmentation. Web pages with
the customer’s look and feel that link to Oracle databases are routinely developed by WeatherWise.
Custom Programming and Simulations
Have all the factors at your fingertips. We build applications to meet your specifications and needs, regardless of the
size of problem. Modification of Excel and Access front ends, web interfaces and custom applications can give you precise
control over your large databases and simulations.
Advanced Marketing Support
Applications that tie mail campaign, electronic enrollments using a web portal and contact center interactions have been
constructed and managed by WeatherWise. Advanced analytics and predictive marketing for direct campaigns have been utilized
to produce higher efficiency in acceptance rates along with a streamlined process for customer acquisition.
Confidential Consumer Data Handling
WeatherWise is experienced in handling large amounts of confidential consumer data including, but not limited to, site
security, secure web pages and FTP, and encrypted data transmittals and receiving.
