IBM Envizi Planning Analytics

Edit online

With the integration between IBM® Envizi ESG Suite and IBM Planning Analytics, you can use your Envizi ESG Suite data for analysis, forecasting, and scenario modelling to help you to plan decarbonization strategies.

The Envizi Planning Analytics AddOn is an integration between Envizi ESG Suite and IBM Planning Analytics. The integration re-creates the Envizi ESG Suite monthly dataset and makes it available in a Planning Analytics environment. Key components of the integration are:

Data exchange: ESG data is exchanged between Envizi ESG Suite and Planning Analytics by using an API-based file exchange, which provides a secure, reliable, and automated means for data transfer.; To provision the integration with Planning Analytics, see Provisioning Planning Analytics. When the integration is complete, the monthly dataset files are pushed to the nominated Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) by using the Planning Analytics API. The process can take minutes. Large files use pre-processing chunking as part of a multi-part upload. The Turbo Integrator process automates dimensions and cubes for use in the PAW.
Note: The latest Envizi ESG Suite monthly dataset files are pushed to Planning Analytics as part of an overnight job. The dataset can also be manually refreshed via the Data Flow Automation module. For more information, see Provisioning IBM Planning Analytics.
Data cube: The Envizi ESG Suite monthly dataset is replicated in your Planning Analytics environment as a data cube, which you can use to perform custom modelling and forecasting.; The Planning Analytics Turbo Integrator processes are triggered when the Planning AnalyticsWorkspace (PAW) receives the updated monthly dataset files from Envizi ESG Suite. The process builds, defines, and keeps up-to-date all dimensions, hierarchies, subsets, and fact data. Data can be used for analysis and forecasting immediately.; Updates, patches, and new Turbo Integrator code are deployed via GitHub repository connections to each Planning Analytics instance, which helps ensure that all customers get the full benefit of the integration service.
Accelerators: Minimum viable product (MVP) solution templates are provided for common use cases. When you log in to Planning Analytics, from the Quick Launch section, click Your Applications and the accelerators for Envizi ESG Suite are displayed.
