Some of the most time consuming aspects of monitoring data
management are detailed below:
It is still not uncommon for readings to be manually typed into
home made databases.
MP-5 has a manual data entry
facility of course, but the vast majority of data is automatically
imported from files, databases or emails. Find out
more.
Checking through files of data looking for anomolies, problems,
trends or compliance breaches is not only time consuming but very
unreliable.
MP-5 fully validates all incoming
data automatically, alerting appropriate people only where
validation or compliance issues need
attention.
Managing monitoring schedules, working out what should be
monitored when, then working if any expected data is missing takes
time and effort.
The MP-5 Monitoring Scheduler
knows what monitoring is due, and can alert both before it is due
to be monitored, and after if data is not received when
expected.
Once data has been collected and validated, information and
reports are derived from it. Manually collating, calculating and
reporting can take days, weeks, even months.
MP-5 automatically calculates
summaries and KPIs as data arrives (and also generates alerts if
these in turn raise any alarms). Data retrieval and interpretation
are easy and fast. Pre-formatted regulatory and other reports can be
plugged in, and either run via a simple double click, or even
scheduled to be delivered as a pdf attachment to an email
distribution list.
